Welcome to End-of-Life University

I’m Dr. Karen Wyatt — a hospice physician, author, podcast host, and teacher exploring what death can teach us about living with more love, presence, forgiveness, purpose, and peace.

 

This site is a compassionate space for exploring what really matters in death, grief, healing, spiritual growth, and conscious living. Whether you are facing illness, caring for someone you love, grieving a loss, working in end-of-life care, or seeking deeper wisdom for your own life, you are welcome here.

 

My work is rooted in years of listening at the bedsides of the dying. Again and again, I’ve seen that even the most difficult passages of life can become openings to meaning, connection, courage, and love.

 

Begin wherever you are. You’ll find podcasts, books, reflections, and resources to help you meet life’s hardest questions with less fear and more compassion.

Begin Where You Are
