The Integrative Palliative Podcast
Conversations about communication, caregiving, and changing the experience of serious illness.
Hosted by physician, educator, and speaker Dr. Delia Chiaramonte, The Integrative Palliative Podcast explores one central question:
How do we improve the experience of serious illness when we cannot change the illness itself?
Through thoughtful conversations, practical tools, and evidence-informed insights, each episode helps listeners navigate the challenges of serious illness with greater clarity, compassion, and confidence. Topics include communication, family caregiving, clinician wellbeing, decision making, whole-person care, and the emotional realities that accompany serious illness.
Whether you're a healthcare professional, a family caregiver, or simply someone walking beside a loved one through illness, you'll discover practical skills that can improve your confidence, reduce your stress, and help you find meaning even if the patient's illness can't be cured.

Bearing Witness to Grief: A Powerful Way to Support Someone Who is Grieving
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It's been an interesting experience for me to experience the loss of my dad and both feel my own grief and also observe it with the lens of a palliative care physician.
I have noticed how healing it has been for me when others bear witness to my pain and also when they bear witness to my dad as a person.
This is how we can best support people who are grieving after someone they love has died: bear witness to the pain or bear witness to the person.
Helping healers heal others and themselves.
