But is it only comics and actors and showbiz types who spend like idiots and buy ridiculous things?We thought we'd put this to the test, so we invited Mr Brian Byrnes - a real life actual financial adviser - to see what someone's shopping history looks like when they're, you know, sensible.

In this fourth and final episode of our special series in partnership with Stanford Healthcare, our guest Susan Evans shares the ins and outs of caregiving, and talks about her work to support other caregivers dealing with the challenges of Alzheimer's Disease. As a caregiver, Susan worked to ensure her dad was safe and well cared for. She and her brother incorporated humor into their caregiving journey, and now she works to ensure other caregivers have the resources they need. Here are a few highlights from our conversation: Susan knows the power of story sharing, and how caregivers can learn from each other. When her dad began experiencing symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease, he took himself to his doctor at Stanford Healthcare. Susan recommends taking advantage of the present time caregivers have, to be in the moment instead of trying to remind your person of things they can't recall. Challenges from Alzheimer's Disease vary from person to person, and caregiver to caregiver. Despite the hard times, Susan has found fulfillment and meaning in her caregiving roles.

Patty Webster of The Conversation Project is talking with me about the swoopers and seagulls that are sometimes part of the caregiving experience. As part of her caregiving journey with her dad and siblings, Patty realized that she had been a “swooper”, offering her opinions about her dad's care during an intermittent visit.  Here's what Patty says she learned: Supporting the primary caregiver is an important part of caregiving from a distance.“Swoopers” and “seagulls” tend to offer input into the actions of the primary caregiver creating a mess in the care of their Person.  Patty and her siblings had to learn from her dad how he defined quality of life, and then support him in the right ways. Knowing each other's strengths is the key to success of a caregiving team.Shifting the approach to communication when it's not working, and listening to each other is vital to creating the best caregiving environment.  Supporting your Person's decisions about care contributes to feelings of confidence and comfort.   Patty and the team at The Conversation Project offer multiple resources for end of life conversations, offering resources for making end of life wishes known.  Website: theconversationproject.org Social media: Facebook Twitter   Instagram YouTube        Connect with The Conversation Project with questions (and to donate to support their work!) here        Need to have a conversation about end of life? Get started with resources from The Conversation Project. Interested in purchasing a GrandPad to stay connected with a senior loved one?  Get more information at https://www.grandpad.net/thoh.

Here are a few highlights from this episode, created in partnership with Stanford Health Care: Sheralin's mom Carlys began showing symptoms in 2012, and a definitive diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease wasn't found until about 10 years later. Carlys spent a year in hospice care before she was discharged. As a sandwich caregiver, Sheralin cares for her two kids while working a full time job and ensuring her mom's needs are being met. Being a caregiver has impacted Sheralin's family in numerous ways, affecting family dynamics, relationships, and finances. Sheralin knows there's strength in self care.

Dr. Jocelyn Jiao and Social Worker Mike Polisso of the Stanford Healthcare Palliative Team know the value of getting to know patients and families from the start of the care relationship. As part of an interdisciplinary team providing neuropalliative care for people and families living with serious neurological illnesses, they're supporting patients and caregivers and training other healthcare workers in palliative care. Here are some topics discussed in this interview: Jocelyn discussed the importance of finding out communication preferences when it comes to early conversations about advance care planning and disease progression. Mike highlighted exploring preference questions with patients and caregivers, and staying curious to create opportunities for personalized care. Asking what kind of medical information is important to someone to know can create communication styles that are comfortable for the patient and caregivers. Mike finds many people don't know that palliative care social workers have a variety of roles, including helping with complex medical decision making and dealing with family dynamics that are impacting care. Both Mike and Dr. Jiao recognize the need for ongoing self care to support the work they do.

Dr. Fred Mirarchi is working to create personalized, specific advance care plans for patients, accommodating every stage of life and end of life wish. After seeing clinicians in the hospital struggle to determine exactly what patients' wishes were, Fred realized documentation of advance directives didn't truly communicate clearly. He and the team at Mideo Health have developed a best-practice model for documenting health care directives. Using a video format allows patients to customize their plan. For older adults who might struggle with technology, the team provides concierge service to guide them through every step of the process. There's space available on the Mideo platform for creating a personal message to family members, and to document disease-specific directives based on the person's health history. When completed, Mideo is accessible by QR code so it can be accessed quickly by first responders and hospital staff. If you're younger and in good health, there's a “do-it-yourself” version of Mideo that's easy to complete on your own. Advance care planning is a great way of preventing unwanted care that's out of alignment with personal beliefs and wishes. The best time to start the ACP conversation is now.

My guest Gabby Jimenez and I are busting the hospice myths to get to the truth about end of life care. Because there are so many misconceptions about hospice care, many people don't choose to have care from a hospice team or they delay hospice care until very close to death. It's important to know the truth about all the aspects of hospice care - how medicines are managed, how morphine is really used for someone who's dying, when to start hospice, and Do Not Resuscitate orders work. Gabby Jimenez is a hospice nurse, end-of-life doula, death and dying educator, and author. Her website and Facebook page, which are both named The Hospice Heart, offer support for people who are either terminally ill, or caring for someone who is nearing the end of their life. Gabby has learned from being at the bedside of about 2,000 people who have taken their last breath. Her end-of-life doula training has helped her to truly understand the sacredness of death and dying, and what it means to be present for someone during that intimate and final moment.

Dr. Robert Klitzman has learned the truth about the value of spiritual care through his professional practice and his own lived experience. As an author, he's written over 180 articles and books on critical issues in bioethics regarding doctor-patient relationships and communication, research, and other areas. Robert realized the whole-person impacts of a traumatic grief event after the death of his sister in the Twin Tower attacks on 9-11. Speaking with physician colleagues, Robert heard them voice erroneous beliefs about the support that chaplains provide. His book Doctor, Will You Pray for Me?: Medicine, Chaplains, and Healing the Whole Person describes an in-depth look into the work of hospital chaplains. The book demonstrates how chaplains, as part of an interdisciplinary team, help families “make sense of serious disease and threats of death and other medical crises, seeking hope, purpose and larger connections beyond themselves”.

Virginia Marcolin's background in fashion and textiles led her to start designing burial shrouds, experimenting with luxurious natural fabrics and vegetable dyes. The result was Sanctum, a brand of high-end scented burial shrouds for the natural funeral industry. Virginia sources a variety of high-quality organic fabrics which are soft to the touch and biodegradable. Fabrics are colored with non-toxic plant dyes and infused with a proprietary plant-based antibacterial formula, which inhibits germ growth and neutralizes malodor. The result for families is a comforting, beautiful, aromatic cocoon wrapped around their loved one which will carry them to their final resting place. Shrouds can be part of family-guided death care, green funerals, or human composting. A shroud can even be part of a cremation. According to the Sanctum website, their mission is to enhance the sensory experience of alternative funerals for loved ones while eliminating toxins and pollutants from traditional burial practices. You can find the full selection of these Earth-friendly, elegant shrouds at sanctumshrouds.com. Read more about how Sanctum Shrouds came to be here.

She's the co-founder of the When You Die Project which hosts a resource-rich website, podcast, and documentary trilogy. The When You Die Project is here to facilitate a cultural dialogue most often avoided — one that begins at the end.

If it has to do with death, they're talking about it. Award-winning producer, director, and writer Johanna Lunn has contributed to many profoundly thought-provoking programs during her 35 years in filmmaking. In addition to film festival awards, her work has received eight Canadian Screen Award nominations and won three. Her work has been shown around the world.

Hospice and palliative physician Dr. Matthew Tyler is teaching us how to have conversations with your healthcare team about what matters most to you. In addition to his work as medical director of palliative care services, Matthew educates the public about having meaningful discussions with their healthcare teams, especially the doctor. He calls it “How to Train Your Doctor”. People with serious illnesses, along with their decision-makers, can get better care if they know how to communicate their needs. Matthew tackles some of the trickiest topics with his How to Train Your Doctor social media posts. Feeding tubes, CPR/DNR decisions, confusing medical jargon, and palliative care are included in YouTube videos and Instagram posts. Matthew says it's important to determine what the patient considers a meaningful outcome, and what the goals of the patient care are. Credit for the healthcare "f-word" (medically futile) goes to Dr. Nathan Gray, M.D. of inkvessel.com.

Being an advocate for someone in hospice care is a big job. MSW Jacob Kendall of Demystifying Healthcare is teaching us how to do it well. Advocacy for his own healthcare needs has taught him how to communicate with a healthcare team to get the best care possible. Jacob teaches about the various aspects that influence that care that's available for patients, including time and communication. He's also looking from a 30,000 foot view as well, acknowledging that geography, poverty, time, and policies influence the kind of care we receive. Jacob is a fan of interdisciplinary care. He believes every specialist or discipline should be working together to create more continuity in our healthcare. In addition to clinical providers, Jacob also thinks other modalities add value to our care. Connecting with other people experiencing similar health challenges can be valuable. Jacob brings a multidimensional perspective to his work as a healthcare consumer and an educator. Connect with Dr. Jacob Kendall, MSW MPH PhD at jacobevanskendall.com.

As co-founder of Empowered Endings, Dr. Bob Uslander, is working to shift the paradigm of End of Life Care by supporting, guiding, and teaching an empowered approach to Palliative and End of Life Care. He became aware of the gaps in hospice and palliative care that cause patients to struggle. The deaths of his parents and a dear friend provided a personal perspective into caregiving that formed Bob's determination to meet the needs of people with serious illness in a better way. Empowered Endings supports both patients and families through the final stages of life. Bob, his wife Medical Social Worker Elizabeth, and the Empowered Endings team ensure each person feels heard, held, and whole throughout the end of life journey.

Welcome to Season 9 of The Heart of Hospice Podcast! Occupational Therapists Emilia Bourland and Dr. Brandy Archie are sharing how OTs can improve the quality of life for patients and caregivers on hospice care. OTs are underutilized in end-of-life care, but they're an essential part of the hospice interdisciplinary team. There's a lot of support OTs can offer to make caregiving tasks easier, practical solutions to everyday issues for activities of daily living. Occupational Therapy interventions can include managing equipment, setting up meals, and transfer techniques. It's about problem-solving to make caregiving tasks easier and promote independence for the patient. Caregivers have a big job, so reducing the caregiving burden goes a long way to improving the end-of-life experience for both the person at end of life and the ones who are providing their care.

Erin Whalen, founder of Compassionate Coaching, is working to help end of life and grief professionals love their work again. Using her unique gifts, Erin and the Compassionate Coaching theater troop employ “playback theater” to develop engaging programming that centers around giving and receiving empathy. They work with end of life teams to mitigate burnout, enabling the teams to continue providing care for those who are dying. Erin understands grief, loss, and the importance of caring for ourselves as we care for others. Erin lived her whole life in a state of anticipatory grief for the loss of her older sister, Gina. Gina was born with severe cerebral palsy, and died in 2016. Grief milestones are very familiar to Erin. Now she uses her work at Compassionate Coaching to support those who work to care for the dying. You can connect with Compassionate Coaching at compassionatecoaching.org.

Pharmacist Ellen Fulp is passionate about using medications appropriately to care for patients who are at their most vulnerable. As a part of the hospice interdisciplinary team, Ellen collaborates with the hospice director and nurse to ensure quality of life is supported, and a patient's suffering is reduced. Caregivers and patients often misunderstand how medication is used in hospice care. Ellen believes in symptom resolution, keeping the patient's goals of care in mind. In hospice care, pharmacists do more than just review medications for side effects or adverse effects. They help the clinical team find the best medication options to keep the patient comfortable. That includes finding the right route, the most convenient and safe times for administering the medications, and ensuring the medications are utilized correctly by the patient. When medication diversion (meds being stolen or used by someone else) is a concern, pharmacists coordinate with the hospice team to furnish the meds in a safe, legally compliant way. Pharmacists might not be part of the “core team”, but they're a vital part of the care of a hospice patient.

Hospice nurse Eileen Spillane of Befriending Death has learned to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. Eileen is the Founder of Befriending Death and has been a Registered Nurse for over thirty years, specializing in Oncology, Critical Care, and Obstetrics. She is a certified Life Coach from New Ventures West, a former Zen Hospice Project Volunteer, a Meditation Teacher, and an Active Travel Guide. She has been at the bedside of many as they transition through the dying process and cares very deeply about this topic. On the Befriending Death website, Eileen writes that “if we have conversations about it (death), we might loosen up the fear and anxiety around it. If we prepare and share our wishes, we can give our loved ones the gift of clarity and direction so they feel confident they are following our wishes and have the opportunity to grieve without further unnecessary stress”. Eileen's courses can benefit everyone, from people with life-changing illnesses to elder law attorneys and caregivers for someone with a chronic illness. The courses include smaller “buddy groups” that create a deeper connection between participants. The Let's Chat About Death course provides an opportunity to investigate what's important in our lives and make changes that reflect that. Find Befriending Death at befriendingdeath.com.

Today's guest Dr. Qwynn Galloway-Salazar is a Veteran, death doula, compassionate educator, and the founder of In Their Honor, a national initiative raising awareness and addressing Veterans' unique challenges as they approach the end of life. Qwynn is also the spouse of a combat veteran and understands the role of veteran caregivers. 1 in 4 Medicare hospice patients is a U.S. military veteran - a quarter of the Medicare hospice population. Those veterans have special needs when it comes to the end of their lives. Qwynn recognizes the importance of identifying moral injury, a history of combat service, PTSD, and events of military sexual trauma (for both female and male veterans). Discussion of suicidal ideation and depression should also be a part of their end of life care. Often veterans have terminal illnesses that are related to their military service, including Agent Orange and burn pit exposure. The needs of veteran caregivers are unique as well. Their emotional response and grief may include resentment, depression, anger, guilt, and regret. Find more information about In Their Honor at intheirhonor.info.

End of Life Doula Trina Wacasey works to ensure that clients and families have the kind of personalized death care they want. Using family-guided care customized to fit their beliefs, needs, and wants, Trina guides caregivers through deaths, post-mortem care, and rituals after death. After working in the corporate world, Trina was drawn to the work of an end of life doula. She volunteered at a hospice agency with their bereavement program, and completed training at the Conscious Dying Institute. The deep and meaningful conversations had great meaning for her. She was fascinated by how individual people feel about death and advance care planning. As part of her Doula services, Trina offers families what she calls A Natural Goodbye. It's an alternative to the traditional funeral. Here's how she describes it: “I offer my clients a unique opportunity to say a Natural Goodbye following the death of a loved one as an alternative to a traditional funeral or formal wake or visitation. They are invited to an intimate two hour, informal gathering in a private, safe space in the community for cherished time with their person.” Trina is an educator, an encourager, and a companion for those who are walking through a death experience with someone they love.

Dr. Kenneth Doka and Alex Lamorie of the Hospice Foundation of America's Autism and Grief Project are advocates for people with autism. Dr. Doka is a prolific author, editor, and lecturer, past president of the Association for Death Education and Counseling, and a member and past chair of the International Work Group on Death, Dying, and Bereavement. Alex Lamorie is an undergraduate student at the University of Maryland Global Campus and an autism advocate. He serves as an advisor on the Hospice Foundation of America's Autism & Grief Project. Alex's expressive grief artwork was featured in 2021 in the textbook Superhero Grief: The Transformative Power of Loss. For any professional who works with grieving adults, having awareness of the needs of persons on the autism spectrum is an important part of their education. Adults with autism can be overlooked by bereavement and grief workers because their grief expression might look maladaptive, perceived as inappropriate, or not present at all. Alex, along with other autistic adults, contributes a vital perspective in his role as an advisor for the Autism and Grief Project. The Autism & Grief Project provides resources for persons with autism, their families or intimate network, and grief and bereavement professionals. You can find the Project at autismandgrief.org. Hear why Alex serves on the advisory board here. If you're an adult with autism, there's support for you here. If you're a family member, caregiver, or support person for someone with autism who's grieving, click here. If you're a clergy person, grief or bereavement professional, find resources here.

Devin (D.S.) Moss brings a sense of reverence for life and a curiosity about death to his work as a chaplain. During a conversation with a Zen Master about Buddhist beliefs about the afterlife, the suggestion was made to him that he would make a good chaplain. Devin didn't think he could do the work of spiritual care because of his humanist beliefs. He doesn't believe in God. Turns out the Zen Master didn't believe in God, either. Despite a religious upbringing, Devin embraces nontheistic, or humanist, beliefs. His sense of exploration led him to attend seminary and become a chaplain. He has found great fullness and human connection in the work of a chaplain. After completing his CPE (Clinical Pastoral Education) internship, Devin accepted a position to provide spiritual care for an inmate on death row in Oklahoma. He spent most of 2023 supporting convicted murderer Phillip Hancock. Their relationship culminated in Hancock's death by execution in November of that year. D.S. is also the host of the Memento Mori podcast, a show about spirituality and death he started before he became a chaplain. He's continuing his exploration and questioning in a new podcast coming the end of summer, 2024. You can find him at mystartingpoint.life. Connect with Devin (D.S.)

1 in 4 Medicare hospice patients is a U.S. military veteran. End of life workers need to know how to take care of their special needs and enhance their quality of life. It's important for EOL teams to know the signs of PTSD and how to listen when these patients (and their caregivers!) are communicating what they need. Many military veterans experience trauma, guilt, and anger, causing what is identified as “soul injury”. Having a soul injury or PTSD creates a need for specialized care. Opus Peace has a great inventory tool for assessing whether someone has experienced a soul injury. The Soul Inventory is available for free on the Opus Peace website. You can access the Soul Injury Inventory here. Every discipline on the hospice team, including the End of Life (or Death) Doula, brings skills that seriously ill and terminally ill veterans need. The caregivers providing support for those veterans need support as well. Those caregivers are advocates, coordinators, and spokespersons for the veterans they care about.

Christina Keys can tell you the realities of being a caregiver for someone with a serious illness - the good, the bad, and the ugly. As the sole caregiver for her mother following a catastrophic stroke, Christina experienced financial, emotional, mental, physical, and relational impacts. The relationship between the two women was complicated, following a history of childhood abuse. When her mom needed end of life care, Christina was juggling a full-time job as well as all of her mom's care. The caregiving needs became much more intense, often requiring two people. End of life conversations were frequent so Christina knew exactly what her mother's wishes were. One specific request was a casket from Costco! The hospice care got off to a rough start at first, but Christina found an agency that was a better fit for her mom's care. Knowing she would need the additional support, Christina also engaged an End of Life Doula. Christina has taken the memories of her caregiving experience and all the lessons she's learned to support other caregivers. You can connect with Christina and the services she provides at christinakeys.com. Socials for Christina Keys: Facebook TikTok Instagram LinkedIn Find more caregiving resources at caregiving.com.
