From “Flying With Dad” to “Dying With Dad”: Talking About Death & Dying with Author Yvonne Caputo

This chat with Yvonne was very informative and had me tearing up a bit a couple of times. If you’re like me, you’ll enjoy the story of someone’s life journey from a time long ago and how it ended for them as well as their loved one. We’ll all be in her shoes one day, caring for a loved one as they transition; as well as on day being in the shoes of her dying father. She also has a very helpful tip for all of us to start documenting the wishes of those loved ones now while we still have time together.

Yvonne Caputo has been a teacher. She taught in the Erie Pennsylvania Public Schools for 18 years. She has also been the Vice President of Human Resources at a retirement community, a corporate trainer and consultant, and a psychotherapist. She has a master’s degree in education and clinical psychology. Her book, Flying with Dad, is a story about her relationship with her father through his telling of World War II stories. Her second book, Dying with Dad shares how she and her dad had tough conversations about what he wanted in the end.

She has always been a storyteller. She has used stories to widen students’ eyes and soften clients’ pain, and her stories have earned her rave reviews as a presenter and speaker.

Yvonne lives in Pennsylvania with her best friend (who is also her husband). Together they have three children, three grandchildren, and a bernedooodle.
