Podcasts about end of life decisions

The message was delivered on Sunday, July 27th, 2025, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. DESCRIPTION: What if the greatest wisdom about love came from children? When 4 to 8-year-olds were asked "What does love mean?" their answers revealed profound truths that adults often miss. From a grandfather painting his arthritic wife's toenails to a little boy who simply sat and helped his grieving neighbor cry, these stories illuminate love's true nature. But here's the deeper question: Are you truly listening to where love is leading your life? This message explores how love becomes our most reliable compass through life's toughest decisions - from family conflicts to impossible choices. What happens when we make love our lens for every situation? Through the touching story of "Chicken Farmer, I Love You" painted on a small town rock, discover how authentic love persists even when circumstances change, people move away, or others try to paint over it. The message that appeared years later - "Chicken Farmer, I Still Love You" - reveals something eternal about love's nature. Why do some people carry deep regrets while others find peace in their choices? The answer might surprise you. When facing your most difficult decisions, there's one question that cuts through confusion and brings clarity: What would love have you do? Will choosing love always guarantee the outcome you want? What happens when love demands sacrifice, patience, or forgiveness? How can we live with "indiscriminate love" in a world full of conflict and pain?

From the minute we bring a tiny kitten into our homes, we know our days with them are numbered. Their lives are so much shorter than ours and someday, we will all face that moment of decision: should I keep treating my sick cat, or should I let him go? Is he happy or is he suffering? If kitty is very sick and we know he's at end of life, do we let nature take its course at home or do we help with euthanasia? How do we know when it's time to help? We are so thankful Dr. Jeff Feinman is back to talk to us about this difficult decision and what we can do now, to help our cats live as long as possible and to be aware of the changes we may not notice.

As the most visible death doula working in America today, Alua Arthur is a seeker, a “recovering” attorney and the founder of Going with Grace, a death doula training and end-of-life planning organization. She has spent thousands of hours with folks as they contemplate their mortality when regrets, secret joys, hidden affairs, and dim realities are finally revealed aloud. Her TED Talk titled, “Why thinking about death helps you live a better life” went online in July 2023, and has already received 1.5 million views. A frequent guest on TV and radio, Alua has been featured on CBS's The Doctors and in Disney's “Limitless” docu-series with Chris Hemsworth, as well as in national print media outlets, such as Vogue, InStyle, the Los Angeles Times, The Cut, The New Yorker, and the New York Times. She travels the country and world as a keynote speaker, addressing audiences at conferences, end-of-life organizations, Fortune 500 companies, universities, seminaries, senior citizens' communities, and more. Alua's journey to death work started when her family fled a murderous coup d'etat in Ghana in the ‘80s – a time of chaos and fear that dramatically impacted her life and influenced her restless, peripatetic spirit. Every aspect of Alua's fascinating life comes together in Briefly Perfectly Human: Making an Authentic Life By Getting Real About The End, her raw, no holds barred, honest, and frequently hilarious memoir poetically crafted to share her powerful message with people all around the world. Available on April 16, 2024, her story is a deeply soul-transformative story that encourages us to think about the often-taboo subject of our own mortality – and how embracing this reality can help us lead better, more fulfilling lives. Topics covered in this episode:Work-life BalanceWorkplace ChallengesSelf-care StrategiesMental Health SupportPersonal ExperiencesReality of DeathMedically Assisted EuthanasiaImportance of AutonomyImpact of MedicationsRegrets and Life LessonsTo learn more about Alua Arthur and her work, head over to www.goingwithgrace.com__________________________________________________________I cannot encourage you enough to go and pick up a copy of Briefly Perfectly Human: Making an Authentic Life by Getting Real About the End.

What does it mean to “have your affairs in order”? Usually, this concept comes up after someone has died or diagnosed with a serious illness. “Did they/do they have their affairs in order?”  What "affairs" are they referring to? Financial allocations? Healthcare power of attorney? Living will? The “legacy contact” for your iPhone?? It's human to want to put off these decisions/plans since it forces us to confront our own mortality. It's not uncommon to have the occasional existential crisis, and certainly those feelings are less than pleasant... How can we make these things less scary and daunting? What if you had a “doctor friend” to help explain end-of-life planning? Do you think you'd be willing to take action if you understood your options better? Well, in today's episode, we did just that! We have a wonderful expert in the field of Palliative Care to help us understand how to navigate end-of-life care, both for ourselves and for the loved ones in our lives. Welcome, Matthew Tyler, MD! Dr. Tyler was a fellowship-trained in Hospice and Palliative Medicine at Northwestern University. He is the Section Chief of Hospice and Palliative care at Ascension Healthcare. He has been providing care for patients in their homes, in the clinic, and in the hospital for over a decade.  He also has a BIG social media presence, with the Instagram and YouTube handle of “How To Train Your Doctor”, where he provides meaningful, kind, information regarding palliative care, hospice, and general end-of-life questions for everyone. His website, howtotrainyourdoctor.com, provides support and resources for navigating serious illness, and is totally free, and so incredibly helpful! Topics covered in today's episode include: What is "hospice"? How is it different than "palliative care"? How does someone qualify for hospice care? Is it covered by insurance? Where is hospice care provided? In a hospital? Nursing home? At home? What is a "healthcare power of attorney"? What is a "living will"? How can you create one? Does "advance directive" mean the same thing? What does "DNR" mean? Are there other options other than "do everything" and "DNR"? What is "respite care"? Dr. Tyler recommends the following resources: PREPARE for your care- a free online resources to navigate end-of-life care. Five Wishes- tools to guide decision-making for end-of-life care options.

Living wills? Palliative care? Brain death? Cremation? Many of us know we need to think about these and other end-of-life questions for ourselves and our loved ones, but how many of us know where to look for guidance? Dr. Stephen Doran, M.D. is uniquely positioned to help us think about these often uncomfortable topics. An experienced neurosurgeon, a bioethicist, and a Catholic deacon, Dr. Doran brings insights from modern medical practice as well as from the timeless wisdom of the Faith to the many complicated situations surrounding the end of life. In this episode, host Andrew Petiprin speaks with Dr. Doran about Doran's new book, “To Die Well: A Catholic Neurosurgeon's Guide to the End of Life.” They cover many of the ethical decisions that often take Catholics by surprise when faced with terminal illness, as well as the even bigger questions of what a “good death” really looks like, and how our attitudes toward suffering can have a significant impact on how we face our final end.

Despite the statistic that says 100% of us will die at some point, it's not a subject that is openly discussed. Undoubtedly this reality is contemplated by some, accepted by...

  Nor... What others may think of your decisions. Those "others" only got a 1-sided story. You couldn't take on 2 battles. You have to learn in life... to cut yourself some slack. Others behavior and decisions... are others behavior and decisions. You cannot control the behavior and decisions of others. Sometimes... that 1-sided story others saw, was solely your response to some down right toxic, absent, negligent, cruel behavior. All while YOU were struggling. Their time and energy towards extremely destructive behavior and decisions on the behavior. Could had far-better been spent. No One... Should have to fight with their health, alone. *** Question to therapist: "Am I justified by leaving dysfunctional/individuals out of my obituary? Will God see it any differently?" Response: "God will handle those who have failed to treat others with understanding, kindness, compassion and moral decency. That is not your battle. The question is really a statement. Your right, to write your own obituary, is a statement and final words about your life. It can be whatever of your choosing. It can also serve as a lesson for others. A reflection of absence and how you treat or don't treat those who are sick. Don't feel bad disregarding dysfunctional/individuals. When your dead. It won't matter who was left out of an obituary, final words of the deceased. What matters is how you respected yourself, no matter if it happened at the beginning or the end of your journey."

Today we talk to Dr. Vanessa Boyce and listen as she guides us in a discussion about a heavy topic that many retirees don't think about early on in their retired life.  We all know that every day is a blessing and to have great health in retirement is the goal.  However, as we age we are faced with a slew of new situations and problems.  Those of us with elderly parents and sick spouses have new roles as caregivers.  Dr. Vanessa helps make sense of this time in our lives.  

End-of-life decisions can be a difficult and uncomfortable topic to discuss, but it's a reality that we will all face. In this episode of GraceStory Podcast, we're joined by Dr. Kathryn Butler, a biblically-centered physician who specializes in critical care surgery. She is the author of "Between Life and Death: A Gospel-Centered Guide to End-of-Life Medical Care" and "Glimmers of Grace: A Doctor's Reflections on Faith, Suffering, and the Goodness of God." With her unique insight and perspective, Dr. Butler helps us navigate this complex issue from a Christian worldview. Join us for a practical and informative conversation that will equip you to approach end-of-life decisions with wisdom and faith. To register for Legacy Men's Conference click HERE!

How do you find a trustworthy fiduciary to make end of life decisions for you if you're a solo ager? We get these questions often from our solo ager clients and followers: “What provisions may be made if someone has no healthcare proxy?“ “When there is no one to take care of you as you age and you become ill, how can you ever find a fiduciary you can trust?” We'll review the problem, the lack of options, and if/when we're able to help. Solo agers' problem This end-of-life fiduciary problem is very similar to the executor problem, but more intimate. Typically, solo agers do not have the traditional spouse or adult kids to fill the role. Some solo agers don't want to burden (or are not comfortable asking) more distant relatives or friends to fill the role. An end-of-life fiduciary is not just a money or estate administration role, but rather extremely personal medical role. This means asking someone to make important end-of-life decisions for you and even be present at your death bed. The bottom line is that you do NOT want a random court-appointed stranger to fill this role. A court-appointed fiduciary wouldn't know you or your wishes at all. Not many options With executors, you have the option of choosing professional executors , as well as banks, trust companies, and in some states, there are certified professional executors. There is a small, but developed industry around professional executorship. But there are far fewer options for someone to be your hired health care proxy/agent. In the case where a health care agent is hired, it is usually an attorney. This isn't always a great option either. One of our followers said that she talked to an attorney and didn't feel comfortable with her because all she talked about was the hourly fee. The attorney quoted over $800.00 just to "sign her up." Another said that the attorney “refused to have an initial meeting with me because she's a ‘busy person' and I'd have to hire her before she'd see me.” Obviously, an attorney won't provide these services for free, but the attorneys can be more tactful about it. For example, when we are asked to serve as a professional executor, we meet with the person to make sure we are a good fit. It's hard to imagine someone would want name a health care agent without meeting them first. How (and when) we‘ll be your health care proxy We do not accept this role capriciously. I won't do it unless I am your nominated executor/trustee or otherwise known you for at least several years. Again, I want to make sure we have a good working relationship. This includes annual calls and check-ins (which we have discussed in other episodes). I want to be sure that I have a directional sense of your personality and wishes before I commit to making medical decisions. When the end-of-life period comes, it is a stressful time both for the client and me. I need to feel confident I can faithfully carry out your wishes.

Today’s Guests Peter Kapsner – 50 Shades of Truth In the current Covid-19 climate, often opinions about individuals who die from it surround whether one was vaccinated or unvaccinated. If one was unvaccinated, it could bring ridicule and not sorrow. On the other hand, the only true question is Christ, or not Christ.

Hospice Care is a sensitive topic for many of us. As with pre-arranging a funeral, talking about hospice care can make us feel very uncomfortable; some of us might feel we are "giving up" on our loved ones when we begin to consider this specific approach. The truth is, hospice care can bring relief and even joy to our loved ones. There is a multitude of ways that we can use hospice care programs, from the location, frequency, and services used, so it makes total sense to consider it for our loved ones. In today's episode, our guest and social worker Kate Garza, from Moments Hospice, will discuss the specifics regarding hospice care and dispel some misconceptions about the topic. We'll also discuss some tools that we're developing at OCFH, such as 12 questions for the holidays (a free PDF that will help spark interesting and important discussions these holidays), as well as a set of Grief-focused meditations that will bring you to a better place and help you let go.

Dogs don't live long enough, period. Nothing really makes saying goodbye feel okay. Today we tackle the difficult topic of end of life care including quality of life indicators. Although it's an important topic, it's not exactly a fun one and it brought up a lot of emotions for me. So I'm giving you a content warning now. Useful info, but not easy to listen to. Special Guest: Dr. Alice Villalobos.

According to today's special guest Stephanie Payne, R.N., 1 in 3 senior citizens will suffer some form of elder abuse. That abuse may come from caregivers, but more often than we might believe it comes from their very own families. Stephanie Payne, a practicing RN, author of The Sandbox Wars, and coproducer of the documentary Legacy Decisions End of Life Decisions The Most Important Gift To Your Family, is here to explain why end of life decisions are the most important gift we give ourselves and our families - why each of us must protect ourselves and our families (while we are of sound mind) through legacy planning. We have all heard stories about families who fall apart after bitter feuding over their parents' estates. We have also heard stories of children or family members who steal from their elderly parents, change their parents' wills when they become mentally incompetent, or swindle them out of their life savings. Stephanie Payne is on a mission to prevent these tragedies from happening by creating awareness of the issues and teaching others how to make irrevocable end of life decisions. Everyone will benefit from the information Stephanie will share today. Save the date and be sure to listen.
