#08 La muerte más injusta con Ricardo Martino

In this episode of From Here, Jesús Vega talks with Ricardo Martino, head of the Pediatric Palliative Care Unit at the Niño Jesús Hospital in Madrid and founder of the Porque Viven Foundation. A profoundly human conversation about the most unjust death: that of children. We discuss the grief of parents, the silence that sometimes isolates, how to offer support when it seems that nothing can be done, and an idea that runs throughout the episode: that children, even in their final moments, can become teachers of presence, truth, and life.
