While We're Still Here

Discussing dying and death isn't typically a preferred topic. The thought of bringing it up can feel overwhelming. How do we share with those in our inner circle? The more we acknowledge that 100% of us will die, the more likely we are to share our thoughts about end of life choices. We would share our wishes, fears, and concerns about end of life by starting the conversation with our people. We can work at leaving nothing unsaid with those we love. We can empower others to do the same. Let's discuss how to live for today knowing that we all will die.

  Is This Life Support? You Decide

  Dec 10, 20259 minS0

  <p>Artificial External Life Support is a combination of medical interventions implemented when a person is unable to breathe on their own or when the heart cannot pump blood on its own, or organs need support to function. These interventions are referred to as Life Support and they have their place in medical care. Today I explain why it's so important that we all consider whether we would want these interventions should we find ourselves in need of them but are unable to communicate our wishes. This is a tough topic--it took me years of learning and consideration before I...

With the holidays upon us, our stress levels may be rising. Take a listen and learn a new stress management technique. </p><p>Here are some links to get you started:</p><p>h...

  Crash Into Hospice or Choose Differently?

  Nov 15, 202537 minS4
