Death and Dying

What happens when somebody is dying? Why should I do an advance care plan? What actually is a "good death"?

Welcome to It Can’t Hurt to Ask... about Death and Dying. Whether you're caring for someone, thinking about your lifestyle as you age or just interested in what happens at the end of the life, we've got the answers you're looking for.

Join our host Lauren as she explores everything you'd want to know about the last months, weeks and days of life. She will talk to clinicians from across Queensland to find out how to plan for a good death, who you will meet at a palliative care service and how to care for someone in their final days.

Death is a normal part of life and shouldn't be considered taboo. So, grab yourself a cuppa and join us as we explore how understanding death and dying can help us live better lives.

The first episodes drop Tuesday 13 October 2026—subscribe to It Can't Hurt to Ask wherever you listen to podcasts.
