À propos de ce contenu audio

 Talk Death Delaware is a compassionate podcast about death, grief, hospice care, and end-of-life decision-making in Delaware and beyond.

Hosted by death doula and educator Linda Gould, the show features honest conversations with hospice professionals, advocates, caregivers, and everyday Delawareans about topics many avoid but all of us must face — including hospice care, advance planning, funeral traditions, medical aid-in-dying, natural organic reduction (human composting), caregiver support, and the emotional landscape of loss and grief.

Whether you’re navigating your own grief journey, planning ahead for yourself or a loved one, or simply curious about the culture and practices around dying and remembrance, this podcast brings insight, stories, and compassion to the topic of death.

Episodes include conversations with experts, “Word on the Street” reflections, and in-depth discussions with regular people to demystify death, honor life, and talk openly about what it means to say goodbye.

    • Ep. 10: Aging, Grief, and Facing Mortality: A Conversation About Death and Loss

      Ep. 10: Aging, Grief, and Facing Mortality: A Conversation About Death and Loss
      Jan 19 2026
      In this episode of Talk Death Delaware, we have an honest and deeply reflective conversation about aging, grief, and mortality. I speak with Mike Ingram, a nearly 70-year-old Delaware resident, about how thinking about death changes as we get older and how loss stays with us over time.

      Mike shares his experiences around the tragic death of his son, the loss of his brothers, and the anticipation of losing a brother-in-law. We explore how grief evolves but never fully disappears, why families often struggle to talk openly about death, and how different beliefs about what happens after death shape the way we live.

      This episode highlights why talking about death and dying matters—how these conversations can help us live more intentionally, prepare for end-of-life decisions, and support one another through loss. Talk Death Delaware brings death out of the shadows and into everyday conversation, where it belongs.

      Death touches all of us, but we don’t have to face it alone. Talk Death Delaware creates space for honest conversations about death, grief, and living with intention. If this episode was meaningful to you, please consider sharing it or leaving a review—it helps others find these conversations when they need them most.

    • Word on the Street: Why Cemeteries Matter | History, Genealogy & Grief

      Word on the Street: Why Cemeteries Matter | History, Genealogy & Grief
      Jan 11 2026
      In this episode of Talk Death Delaware, we explore why cemeteries matter—through personal memories, genealogy, data analysis, and the emotional experience of visiting graves.

      What begins as a simple question—“Do you like cemeteries?”—unfolds into a thoughtful reflection on how places of burial become sites of history, curiosity, and meaning over time. From childhood visits to Civil War cemeteries, to an American military cemetery in Luxembourg, to quiet evenings spent in Newark’s M.E. Cemetery, this episode traces how repeated encounters with cemeteries shaped a deeper way of seeing them. Along the way, we look at cemeteries as data sources for historical and genealogical research, places where family relationships, social class, and community history are written into the landscape.As life brings more personal loss, cemeteries also become spaces of empathy and imagination—where we reflect on grief, sudden death, and the stories behind the names on the stones. This episode offers a gentle, personal meditation on why cemeteries resonate with us, blending history, research, and emotional insight.

      For "Word on the Street" chats, I don't include the name of the person speaking so they can speak freely, openly, and honestly about their experiences.

    • Ep. 9: Human Composting: Reimagining Death, Soil, and Choice

      Ep. 9: Human Composting: Reimagining Death, Soil, and Choice
      Dec 15 2025
      Human composting is reshaping how we think about death—driven by grassroots demand for meaningful, environmentally responsible alternative to casket and flame cremation. This episode explores why families are seeking new options, how human composting fits into the funeral director’s toolbox, and the creative, deeply personal ways people are returning loved ones to the earth as perspectives on death continue to evolve across generations.

      Mandy Stafford of Return Home, one of the three major companies that offer families human composting, officially known as Natural Organic Reduction. Mandy is a licensed funeral director and embalmer in Minnesota and Wisconsin. She explains why it is a growing choice among Americans and how it changes our way of grieving, and how Delawareans can opt in.

      For more information, visit the Return Home website or contact Faries Funeral Home, which offers this service through a different company.
