But after her mother passed, authorities launched an investigation that ultimately led to Rachel being charged with murder — despite the involvement of medical professionals, hospice protocols, and documented end-of-life care.The charges were eventually dismissed, but not before Rachel endured unimaginable emotional, financial, and personal consequences.Now, Rachel is speaking out and advocating for Marsha’s Law, legislation designed to protect caregivers who follow hospice guidance and administer legally prescribed comfort medications during end-of-life care. Her story highlights a legal gray area that could impact millions of families navigating hospice care every year.Learn more about Rachel’s story and the movement for Marsha’s Law:https://www.marshaslaw.org/Rachel Waters IG: https://www.instagram.com/distinguishedheathen/--- --- ---PLEASE LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE, AND GIVE US A 5-STAR REVIEW!: ratethispodcast.com/missunderstood Become a Patreon Member: https://www.patreon.com/c/MissUnderstoodwithRachelUchitelShop Miss Understood Merch https://missumerch.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow…","meta_description":"When Rachel Waters rushed to be by her mother’s side during her final days, she believed she was doing exactly what hospice care had prepared her for — pr…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":5328,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/miss-understood-with-rachel-uchitel-6181252/episodes/charged-with-murdering-her-dying-mother-rachel-waters-miss-understood-with-rachel-uchitel-365/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/miss-understood-with-rachel-uchitel-6181252/charged-with-murdering-her-dying-mother-rachel-waters-miss-understood-with-rachel-uchitel-365.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
