A terminal diagnosis arrives with its own kind of suffering — not only physical, but psycho-spiritual and existential. Evidence now supports what many practitioners have long suspected: that psychedelics can meaningfully ease that suffering, helping people move through anticipatory grief, fear, and isolation toward something closer to peace.We’re joined by two practitioners who sit with people at the threshold — one with medicine, one without. Christine Caldwell, founder of the nonprofit End of Life Psychedelic Care, works at the frontier of ketamine-assisted care for existential distress and anticipatory grief. Laura Sullivan Cassidy — death doula, grief coach, and community care leader at Recompose, Seattle’s pioneering green funeral home — walks alongside families from terminal diagnosis through the transitions that follow.
Together, they offer a rare window into what it looks like to be truly accompanied at the end of life, and what becomes possible when that accompaniment includes psychedelic medicine.
