Most of us don’t think about our own mortality until devastating news about a friend or family member forces it into focus. In this episode of Inheritance of Hope, Ellie sits down with licensed clinical social worker Lisa Pahl, to explore ideas on starting these conversations early to ease fear, reduce chaos, and bring clarity during times of crisis.
Lisa shares how small, everyday moments can open the door to deeper dialogue, helping these conversations feel more natural and less overwhelming. She offers thoughtful guidance on emotional preparedness and navigating family conversations, with attention to important topics like hospice, advanced directives, dementia care, and life planning.
