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.

Zoom Funerals: How to Make a Powerful and Meaningful Service Without Leaving Your House
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Zoom memorials or celebrations of life get a bad rap. They may be seen as a second class way to honor a loved one - far less meaningful than a standard funeral.
Let's rethink that narrative!
Having a celebration of life by Zoom can be a powerful and meaningful way to honor your loved one who has died. They are easier to plan and they allow far away friends and relatives to attend and celebrate your loved one.
This week on The Integrative Palliative Podcast I provide a practical roadmap for creating a Zoom funeral that is moving and healing.
Share with someone that you know who needs to hear this right now.
I'm here for you,
Dr. Delia
