About this episode
Fred Rogers, of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood fame has a famous quote: “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” In today’s episode, Natalie sits down to talk with one such helper. Jen Ferguson is a San Antonio hospice social worker - a helper for families who are facing grief and bereavement due to the terminal diagnosis of their beloved family member. She describes what a hospice social worker does and why she feels drawn to be a helper - in so many ways in her life.
