Show notes

Ada has worked as a hospice chaplain for nineteen years. She walks the same beach every morning before her shift, and she says it’s the only reason she can keep doing the work.

What we talk about

What grief does to the body. Why routines matter most when everything else falls apart. The walk she took the morning after her father died, and the one she takes on his birthday every year.

Recorded at low tide on Arcadia Beach.
