In this episode of Sorting Through Life, Colleen Waterston is joined by her dad, longtime funeral director Kevin Waterston, for a candid and surprisingly grounding conversation about planning for the inevitable. Drawing from decades of experience in end-of-life care, Kevin shares insights into how families navigate loss and how preparation can make those moments far less overwhelming.
Together, they explore what it means to “organize with the end in mind,” from documenting final wishes to simplifying the physical and emotional burden left behind. Blending practical advice with personal stories, this episode reframes conversations around death as an opportunity to bring clarity, reduce stress, and ultimately care for the people we love long after we’re gone.
