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.

Three Words That Help Reduce Distress in Difficult Times
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When someone you love is is ill or had died, life feels hard. Yet sometimes we add to our distress by judging how we are feeling or behaving.
We feel sad and then we feel critical that we're still sad.
We feel angry and then feel guilty that we feel angry.
It is the "shoulds" that cause us distress - it doesn't have to be that way.
This week I'll share the 3 words that can help reduce your suffering.
I'm glad you're here!
