 Passing Thoughts is a podcast about life’s final chapter told with honesty, compassion, and heart. It’s a space to talk about what we often avoid, because facing death and grief might just teach us how to live better.

Rob Kaldor visits the Sydney headquarters of a groundbreaking new charity: the Shifra Centre. Rob sits down with founder Irene Fihrer, a clinical psychologist who started the organisation following the deeply challenging passing of her mother. They discuss the critical gap in psychosocial and spiritual end-of-life support and how the Shifra Centre uses a multidisciplinary approach alongside frameworks from Jewish mourning traditions to provide holistic care for the dying. Find out more info about the Shifra Center https://www.shifracentre.org.au/

In the Before We Go segment, Barbara Sullivan reflects on the changing landscape of obituaries. She highlights a memorable, brutally honest tribute to Jenni Kelly.
