Duncan Trussell recorded this conversation with his mother while she was facing terminal cancer.
What you’re hearing isn’t scripted. It isn’t performed. It’s a son sitting with his dying mother trying to hold onto every word before the words run out.
And she, the one facing the end, is the one doing the comforting.
That is what makes these conversations so extraordinary. Not the wisdom itself, as profound as it is. But who it’s coming from. A woman who had every reason to be consumed by her own fear choosing instead to spend what little time remained helping her son understand how to live without her.
These recordings became the heart of The Midnight Gospel. And I always go back to watch it again.

Someone told me Uganda 🇺🇬 is the best place to live but the worst place to work and that hit me.
How about we just pivot and make it the best place to work?
It hit me that Shakespeare wrote Romeo & Juliet not just as a romantic tragedy but as a way to use literature (media) to unite Europeans who were divided over families. No wonder dictatorships ban arts and push sciences in schools.
Museveni screwed us for generations by removing Political Education, and anything related to civics, and making sure that Ugandan history is optional in schools. Ugandans don’t know their rights and their history is being re-written by a pathological liar.
