Leda Meredith is the brave and beautiful daughter of Kelly Johnson. Leda got the call that her dad was dying and on hospice. Kelly Johnson chose to end his own life through a hospice that supported this decision. Leda made the choice to pause her life to take care of him for the next 3 weeks. Leda expresses it takes a village to help someone die. Through his daughter and all Kelly’s beautiful friends he was able to die in a way that was incredibly supported, celebrated, peaceful and legal.
Leda describes the trials of being his caregiver and the joy in being the daughter of such a gifted talented man who lived his life to the fullest and chose to leave the same way. Many questions are answered on this podcast about the “End of Life Option” or Assisted Suicide as it is commonly known.

Dearly Departed: What I Learned About Living from the Dying
Losing someone we love is one of the most challenging, fearful, and heart-rending experiences we are ever likely to face, and it is also a very sacred and holy experience. How do we navigate such transitions with love and compassion for those we care for, while dealing with the inevitable maelstrom of emotions, thoughts, and feelings that are natural and inevitable? Drawing on her years of experience in spiritual healing, counseling and hospice care, Nina Impala shares stories of her experiences as a hospice volunteer and how those experiences prepared her for the final days of her own parents. Dearly Departed is about learning to see death and loss with the eyes of the heart instead of the eyes of the head to find peace, comfort, and hope for ourselves and those we love.
