Hospice Nurse Penny on Normalizing Death, Grief, and End-of-Life Education (#59)

Hospice Nurse Penny has built a massive online following by doing something few people are willing to do: talking openly — and even humorously — about death. With her witty, sarcastic, and deeply compassionate approach, Penny has created viral content that normalizes conversations around dying, grief, and what it means to truly live.

In this episode, Penny shares her journey as a hospice RN, the lessons she’s learned from years at the bedside, and why she believes educating the public about death is just as important as educating them about life. From grief and acceptance to the lighter moments of hospice care, she offers wisdom and perspective with refreshing honesty.

This conversation is both educational and entertaining, proving that talking about death doesn’t have to be taboo — it can be healing.

About DEAD Talks


DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio approaches death differently. Each guest shares raw stories of grief, loss, or unique perspectives that challenge the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn’t end—it evolves. After losing his father on September 11th at just 12 years old, David discovered the power of conversation. Through laughter, tears, and honest dialogue, DEAD Talks helps make it a little easier to talk about death, mourning, trauma, and the life that continues beyond it.
