A Wealthy Life


Nov 28, 2024

Today’s episode is a profound exploration into the often-taboo topic of death and end-of-life care. Joining me is Dr. Julia Ambler, a palliative care expert from South Africa, whose extensive experience brings valuable insights into the emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions of terminal care.

 

In this episode, we address the importance of control over one's own death, highlighting personal stories and cultural contrasts that shape our views on mortality.

 

Dr. Ambler shares her perspective on the complexities of assisted dying, the necessity of honest communication with healthcare providers, and the significant role of palliative care in improving the quality of life for terminal patients.

 

We delve into the ethical, legal, and emotional intricacies of end-of-life decisions, discussing how proactive conversations with loved ones and medical professionals can ensure our wishes are honoured.

 

We'll also touch on the upcoming UK Parliament debate on assisted dying and the potential impact on healthcare funding.

 

Whether it's about making informed decisions, the importance of patient autonomy, or the emotional journey for families, this episode invites you to consider what it truly means to live and die well.

 

So, sit back, and join us as we confront one of life's most challenging yet enlightening topics, revealing how thoughtful planning and open discussions can lead to a Wealthy Life, right until the end.
