Penn and I have had our fair share of interactions with hospice as our loved ones grow older. There are so many people who don\\u2019t always have access to hospice care in the way they would like. But one thing I do know, the nurses who care for us in our final days are a special breed. One of these special nurses is Hadley Vlahos, a registered nurse devoted to hospice care.


Hadley (or Nurse Hadley as she is known online) recently wrote a New York Times best-selling book The In-Between: Unforgettable Encounters During Life\'s Final Moments and she joined us on this week\\u2019s podcast. She writes about the life lessons she gained from her patients and the phenomenon of \\u201cthe in-between.\\u201d These are the days where it seems people have one foot here on Earth, and the other somewhere else. It turns out, you can learn a lot about living from the dying. We talk to Hadley about some of her stories in the book, our own experiences, and her efforts to change the way we die with her non-profit, Hadley House.
