What if death had a guardian to light the way? 'The Guardian' follows Michelle, a dedicated night-shift nurse whose world changes when she finds a mysterious black Lab named Echo in the hospital parking lot. As patients begin coding, Echo displays an uncanny ability to sense approaching death - not to prevent it, but to ensure no one faces their final moments alone. This poignant tale explores end-of-life care, the bond between humans and animals, and the thin veil between life and death. Through Michelle's journey with Echo, listeners discover how death isn't always an enemy to be fought, but sometimes a transition to be eased with compassion and understanding. From late-night hospital vigils to tender family moments, 'The Guardian' illuminates the sacred space between life and death, reminding us that sometimes the greatest gift is simply being present for life's final chapter.
