Pastor Kris Duerksen | Family (Part 4) | End-of-Life Planning: Are You Ready? (Aging Well pt. 2)

Dr. Harms transforms the often daunting task of end-of-life planning into a compassionate journey, helping people navigate the emotional aspects of planning personal finances. She has witnessed death up close many times throughout her life, including the loss of her mother and her son to suicide and, eventually, her husband from a broken heart after their son's death. These events shaped her views on finding meaning in grief, and she set out on a mission to end the stigma around end-of-life planning. As a fourth quarter coach and international speaker specializing in grief, conflict resolution, and legacy planning, Dr. Harms goes beyond spreadsheets to help clients — often with the aid of financial planners — arrange their personal finances and estates with care and empathy, turning what can be a difficult process into a meaningful experience for families. Her book Are You Ready? How to Build a Legacy to Die For talks about how to build a legacy that lives on after your death. It was a #1 bestseller on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and has won numerous awards, including being named the most inspirational book of 2024 by the Pacific Book Awards.

Hi Witches This is possibly one of my favourite interviewees on the podcast and in my humble opinion one of the most important topics to delve into! Neesheta talks us through her role as a death doula and ultimately the topic of death. Neesheta carries the role of Oracle, Death Doula, and Movement Witch. She grew up with both sides of her family practicing magic, and many of these practices built the foundation for her magic today. She is also a Hekatean initiate and graduate of The Covina Institute under Dr. Cyndi Brannen, where she also serves as the Institute's Seasonal Movement Guide. Neesheta is also a retired cultural and aerial dance studio owner with over 14 years' experience teaching various dance styles including cultural, aerial, sensual, and esoteric movements. She believes that her experiences and her studies in Anthropology and End Of Life Planning have helped blend cultures and traditions into her teaching, dance, magical and mindfulness practices, and in helping others prepare to live the life, they desire, before their earthly death.

In this episode, Greg Barnsdale and I talk about career as a financial advisor, where he would encourage strongly to people the importance of getting their affairs in order, before he had his own brush with potential death after ringing in his left ear led to being diagnosed with a large brain tumor. Greg shares guidance and tips in this episode that are invaluable to anyone who has not yet done their preparations for death.  It is the one thing we will all do and the one thing most hide from!   Greg Barnsdale is an unusual undertaker. After years of stressing to others, ‘Get your final affairs in order' and finally publishing a book to inspire people, he was diagnosed with a large brain tumor. Faced with a death sentence, he opted for surgery. He's now emerged with an extremely compelling message, shared by few others. His perspectives are unique as a Certified Financial Planner, Certified Executor Advisor, and hospice volunteer. As a death doula who has published a best-selling book about planning ahead, his message is gaining solid traction. His claims include the fact that end-of-life planning helps reduce the stress of aging, improves family harmony, leaves survivors more emotionally / financially resilient, increases social capital and improves court efficiency. This ultimately bolsters the economy.  He believes Confronting the reality of death also helps us live more fully.     I am your host, Marci Nettles.

Nothing like talking to an expert in the field to clarify what truly matters! Sue Mackey has been working for more than 15 years to help people prepare for the end of life. We talk about critical pieces of the puzzle, such as: What is a healthcare proxy? Is that the same thing as a durable medical power of attorney? And why are there so many terms that mean the same thing anyway? (Spoiler: There is no way to actually answer this, at least not in 30 minutes.) Sue and I talk about what gets in the way of getting the paperwork we know we need to do completed, but ultimately, as Sue says, “Paperwork is the surface work – first you've got to take a look at your own mortality!” Only then will you find yourself signing what needs to be signed.

Joanne Eason, President of Five Wishes, knows it's important to document our end-of-life wishes so our voices are heard when we can't speak for ourselves.   Five Wishes was established over 25 years ago through a series of listening tours, asking people what was important to them.  From those results, the Five Wishes document was formed with guidance from the American Bar Association and other palliative care providers across the U.S.  It's designed for individuals to use when sitting down with their families, a tool for talking about what's important to the person.    Five Wishes has incorporated three questions into their Five Wishes document: How comfortable do you want to be? How do you want to be treated? What do you want those around you to know about you?  Those answers are the voice of the patient.  Where health systems use certain forms to document decision-makers and specific medical directives, Five Wishes is about not just the wishes of the person, but who they are. It can be used like a workbook and comes in both digital and paper forms.  The workbook is a living document and should be revisited as healthcare status changes or your spokesperson changes.   Five Wishes can also be utilized by hospice agencies, healthcare organizations, and businesses. It's legal in almost every state in the U.S. so it's a very flexible document.  If you live in one of only four states (New Hampshire, Kansas, Ohio, or Texas) you can still use the Five Wishes Paper but may need to take an extra step.  Five Wishes is available in 30 languages, as well as Braille.

Kimberly Best is a registered nurse who spent over two decades working in various intensive care units, trauma centers, and emergency departments. She pursued graduate school in clinical community psychology but found it unfulfilling and returned to nursing. After her brother introduced her to transformative mediation, she went on to study conflict management and currently specializes in mediation, facilitation, and restorative practices for peace building.Kimberly highlights that end-of-life care should be focused on the patient's quality of life and ability to do what matters to them, rather than on painful treatments that can be cruel and rob patients of a peaceful and dignified ending. She highlights the importance of addressing conflicts sooner rather than later and embracing mediation as an alternative to the legal process to avoid a long, drawn-out and acrimonious situation.Kimberly also touches on the important theme of estrangement and how it can impact end-of-life conversations. She emphasizes the importance of identifying what is important to all parties involved and notes that reflecting on how we dealt with conflict growing up can affect the way we deal with it now.Please connect with Kimberly wherever you find her:Website: https://www.bestconflictsolutions.com/LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kimberlybestmediatorFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bestconflictsolutionsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimberly_a_best/Twitter: https://twitter.com/kimberly_a_bestAlignable: https://www.alignable.com/franklin-tn/best-conflict-solutions

In our previous episodes, we featured a winery called Billsboro on Seneca Lake. If you ever find yourself in the Finger Lakes area of New York, I highly recommend visiting Billsboro. Their wines are delightful, and the setting in their beautiful old barn is truly picturesque. One wine that stood out to me was their 2022 Sarah, which will be released soon. It's a light and rich-flavored wine that I believe many wine enthusiasts will enjoy.Now, let's get back to the topic at hand: The Five Wishes. This document is a comprehensive living will that covers various aspects of your healthcare and end-of-life wishes. It was created with the help of the American Bar Association Commission on Law and Aging and is available in 29 languages.The Five Wishes addresses five key areas:1. Choosing a Healthcare Decision-MakerThe first wish allows you to designate the person you want to make healthcare decisions for you if you are unable to do so yourself. This person, known as your healthcare proxy or agent, will have the authority to make medical decisions on your behalf. It's crucial to choose someone you trust and who understands your values and wishes.2. Defining Your Medical Treatment PreferencesThe second wish focuses on your preferences for medical treatment. It allows you to specify the kind of medical treatment you want or don't want in various scenarios. You can outline your preferences for pain management, comfort, and life-supporting treatments. The document provides options for you to be as specific as you'd like, ensuring that your wishes are known and respected.3. Ensuring Comfort and DignityThe third wish centers around your desire for comfort and dignity. You can express how you want to be cared for, including specific requests such as having pictures of loved ones in your room, being treated with kindness and cheerfulness, or even being called by a particular name or nickname. This wish allows you to define how you want people to treat you during your healthcare journey.4. Communicating Your Personal WishesThe fourth wish is an opportunity for you to communicate your personal wishes to your loved ones. You can express forgiveness, love, and any other sentiments you want your family and friends to know. Additionally, you can outline your preferences for your body after death, such as burial, cremation, or donation. This wish ensures that your

Hospice physician and podcaster Jordan Grumet is sharing how his work with hospice patients creates deep conversations about end of life planning, money, and life.  Dr. Grumet is currently an associate medical director at Journeycare Hospice.  After years of blogging about financial independence and wellness, Jordan launched the Earn & Invest podcast in 2018.  In 2019 he received the Plutus Award for Best New Personal Finance Podcast and was nominated in 2020 for Best Personal Finance Podcast of the year. Jordan believes in having end of life conversations early and often.  He's seen the positive influence of those conversations in the lives and deaths of his patients.  After losing his dad at an early age, Jordan noticed people didn't know how to be with him and his family, or what to say to them.  Jordan wanted the medical care he provided to align with his patients' end of life wishes, so he joined a hospice interdisciplinary team.  He considers his real job to be supporting his fellow team members as they provide the moment-to-moment, bedside care.   Jordan endorses including financial discussions when we're having conversations about healthcare needs in later life and when we're approaching death.  Caregivers are often dealing with money issues as well as the typical challenges of being a caregiver.  Jordan's podcast Earn and Invest deals with topics like focusing on retirement and determining the things that matter most.  You can win a copy of Jordan Grumet's book Taking Stock: A Hospice Doctor's Advice on Financial Independence, Building Wealth, and Living a Regret-Free Life!
