R.O.G. Return on Generosity

71. Cianna Stewart - Dying Kindly

“If you think about the impact that your death will have on the people that you leave behind, the people that you say that you love, then, you want that to be as good an experience as it can be in a really bad circumstance.”

Guest Info:

Cianna P. Stewart produces and hosts Dying Kindness, a podcast for people who are going to die someday. The goal is to help people make key decisions now in order to be kinder to those they’ll leave behind. Cianna’s varied resume includes community organizing, HIV prevention, nonprofit management, startups, theater, documentaries, and event production. Cianna’s tagline: Super curious about nearly everything.

Favorite Quote:

“This, too, shall pass.”

R.O.G. Takeaway Tips:

  • Create a back up plan so your talent can take vacation, time off and bereavement time.
  • Create a safe space for people to share about their circumstance and how you may be able to support them with flexibility or resources.
  • Set up your emergency contact information on your mobile device.
  • Plan thoughtfully so the people who will remain after you pass don’t have to carry the burden of figuring it all out while they are grieving.

"I do the very best I know how-the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference." — Abe Lincoln
