In 2020, journalist Mitchell Consky received bad news: his father was diagnosed with a rare and terminal cancer, with less than two months to live. Mitchell joins Dr. Adriana Shnall to share his personal and family experience of creating a home hospice for end-of-life care – amidst social distancing during the first lockdown of the Covid-19 pandemic. Reflecting on final talks with his father, emotional goodbyes and the unexpected laughter that filled their final days together, Mitchell’s story reveals how far a family went in making a dying loved one feel safe at home.
