In part four of our series, we meet Matthew Congdon again—designer, sharp-tongued truth-teller, and stage-four cancer patient—still trying to make sense of a life that keeps blindsiding him. This chapter brings an unexpected turn: a new love that arrived just days after his diagnosis, in the form of a tall Dutchman in white pants named Ludo. Matthew reflects on allowing himself to be cared for, trusting life’s sudden shifts, stepping away from his work, finding joy in the small stuff, and the fears and imaginings that shape the way he’s approaching the end of life.

This is 'When I Die, Let Me Live,' a new podcast where we take up the taboo, fraught, delicate, but universal topic of death. We'll invite you into the lives of our guest, many of whom are patients, caregivers, and health professionals, as we try to understand what it means to live more fully as the end approaches. In these stories, we hope to find our own voices and feel moved to start having conversations with the people we care about. Because facing death isn't about dying but leaning into our living. Join us each month starting at the top of 2017, and subscribe to us on iTunes.
