The last episode of Duncan Trussell’s The Midnight Gospel is a doozy.
It’s a surreally animated conversation between Trussel and his mother, Deneen Fendig, who passed away shortly after the conversation.
Although I knew the story behind it, that didn’t prepare me for the power of the exchange.
Fendig had been given six months to live, four years previous. She had been told over and over that her end was near.
The grace and peace that emanate from the calm tone of her voice were healing. She was in a place of true acceptance.
The wisdom of the conversation runs deep. With a runtime under 30 minutes, it’s the kind of exposure to death that everyone should take a moment to experience.
