Show Notes

Two questions live in our hearts as we face death: Am I loved? And have I loved well? Frank Ostaseski—a pioneer in compassionate end-of-life care and author of The Five Invitations—shares his insights and experiences with Tami in this episode, informed by decades at the bedside of dying people, exploring emotional flexibility, the practice of allowing, and discovering indestructible love through vulnerability and presence.

This conversation offers genuine transmission—not just concepts about awakening, but the palpable presence of realized teachers exploring the growing edge of spiritual understanding together. Originally aired on Sounds True One
