That we are, in fact, one day going to die. Through his career in healthcare, he has helped countless terminally ill patients and their loved ones work through this most challenging of life’s realities. What he’s discovered over the years is the understanding, comfort, even joy that can come through intentionally facing our finish line. Not just for those who are fast approaching it, but for everyone young or old, sick or healthy. Cody began this podcast as a way to share these endearing and lovely stories of life, death, and dying. Far from morbid, these episodes are deeply alive explorations of life’s greatest mysteries and windows into the wonderful, human richness of living.

Or really, anyone. As some of you might know, this year Cody left his job and, more importantly, co-workers he cares deeply for. And so the theme of loneliness applies not just to those with illness, not just those grieving or trying to navigate relationships that can change in the face of mortality, but all of us. Especially at this time of year, when the emphasis on gathering together can many times make us feel even further apart. Please give yourself a few minutes out of your busy holiday schedule to join Cody in a reflection on loneliness and its answer—connection. And regarding his offer to be there for you if you need it, you can email Cody at dttypod@gmail.com. Peace and love in these days of remembrance and celebration.","meta_description":"In this week's reflection on his interview with Shutes—which, of course, you should go listen to—Cody discusses the recurring theme of loneliness among pe…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":410,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/dying-to-tell-you-6678535/episodes/in-answer-to-loneliness-a-reflection/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dying-to-tell-you-6678535/in-answer-to-loneliness-a-reflection.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
