Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Thinking about how you want to spend your final months of life isn’t a topic most people want to dwell on until they need to. Yet experts say many patients with terminal illnesses could benefit from the social, psychological and spiritual services offered by hospices. Kojo looks at the difficult choice that many families face in forgoing life-prolonging treatment to improve quality of life.
