Chuck and Josh have covered just about every aspect of death except dying itself. Here, they fulfill the death suite of podcasts with an in-depth look at just how people die, what happens to the body during the dying process and how people accept death -- and what they regret not having done while they lived.
This episode explores the biological and medical reality of death itself—from how we've historically defined it to what the actual dying process looks like. Josh and Chuck break down the surprisingly complex journey from life to death, including how medical technology has made defining the exact moment of death much trickier than it used to be, and they walk through the pre-active and active dying phases that typically precede death from old age or terminal illness. The hosts also discuss what it feels like to die from various causes like drowning, heart attack, and being burned, drawn from accounts of survivors, plus practical and compassionate advice for being present with someone at the end of their life.
