Send us a textWe've been exploring bridges, these last weeks, intersections, spaces where dark meets light, sleep meets awake, East meets West, the physical meets the spiritual, science meets art, and this week, that bridge takes us across the River Styx.This week, I'd like to share a little continuing education class I created for someone I love dearly. Her language as a lifelong educator is continuing education; coursework to keep credentials current, so I echoed that familiar language, using the same methods, including worksheets. The course, which is a conversation, meant to build a bridge from this life to what happens after that last breath.Why? The fear of death can keep us from living a full life.  If we can overcome our initial aversion, I'm not saying becoming full-on comfortable with our imminent death, but familiar with the process, examine (and call out) at our preconceived notions and ideas, clear away old programming, and then use our imaginations to picture what we want to experience after death? Well, at worst, it is a thought experiment that makes our final days more peaceful; at best, we impact the death experience, creating a less jarring transition from life to afterlife. I don't see a downside to recognizing that one day all of us will expire.Overcoming fears of death leads to a full-spectrum life experience. Let death control our every thought? It's the equivalent of wearing a dog cone - those clumsy plastic haloes we put on our beloved pets so they won't gnaw on a hot spot or pull out fresh stitches. Bulky, awkward, they impede vision, movement, the path forward. And the sad truth is, we've put those cones on ourselves to avoid thinking about, worrying, wondering or planning for what happens after we die. I worked in pediatric hospice as a volunteer fundraiser for nearly a decade. Hospice means the last 90 days of life, give or take, depending on the jurisdiction. And the pediatric part? Yep. Heartbreaking. I said yes to this work to pay it forward after our child had sepsis, and lived. I felt compelled to help others. What I learned is that there is medicine in living intentionally, and there is much to learn from end of life care.Country songs beg us to live like we are dying, philosophers recognize the power of staying in the present moment; social media and therapists alike ask us to live out loud, to stretch past our comfort zones, say the things to loved ones now, and make plans to do the trips or visits now, not to put off living until all the planets align. All of that is huge. I produced an entire show  about conquering the fear of death in season one. It's worth a listen.But, today we are on the edge of the River Styx. I'm holding your hand. We will be okay, better than okay for having dwelled here. Let's talk about our last exhales.What to Listen/Watch/Read NEXTConquering (or at least coHave you tried the GoodPods app yet?

Text a Message to the ShowThis is the second part of our story of Detective Dana Gouge, who handcuffed the BTK serial killer, Dennis Rader.  If you haven't heard part one which told the story of a narcissistic serial killer who couldn't stop talking… then what are you doing?! Go back and listen to Ep 110 right now!  We left off with Detective Gouge putting the handcuffs on Dennis Rader before the task force took him to be interviewed.  Dana is going to tell us a bit about those interviews but what I find interesting, and what I think is missing from your typical true crime podcast, is what effect it had on the detectives to encounter a truly evil man, to be the team working such a large case, and then to wrap it up.  So I'm going to explore these topics with Dana and talk about how that affects him twenty years later.But first let me tell you what I did not reveal in part 1: the reason I know Dana Gouge.  Dana isn't just a retired homicide detective, today he's also a chaplain.  In fact at the time of this recording he's in the process of becoming a police chaplain at the same agency where I serve.  I'm really excited about the prospect of serving alongside him and his background in both policing and now counseling, pastoral care, ministry, and theology make him an excellent person to discuss the topic what to do when you encounter true evil. Dana's invitation: May 18, 2025 at One Hope Church, 9400 Nall, Overland Park, KSMusic is by Brian Bolger and by Chris HaugenHey Chaplain Podcast Episode 110.5Tags:Serial Killer, BTK Killer, Chaplaincy, Detectives, DNA, Evil, Faith, Family, FBI, History, Hospice, Infighting, Interviews, Investigations, Murder, Police, Task Forces, Theodicy, Wichita, KansasSupport the showThanks for Listening!

Sme krajinou, kde sa umierania musíme báť, lebo na to nemáme, hovorí Simona Stískalová z Asociácie hospicovej a paliatívnej starostlivosti. Musíme prestať zatvárať oči pred realitou a naservírovať si pravdu, dodáva. Asociácia sa pridala k protestu voči tzv. ruskému zákonu. Ten totiž mieri i voči tým, ktorí sa o nás starajú na poslednej ceste do večnosti."Príde smrť a bude mať Tvoje oči," napísal svojho času taliansky básnik Cesare Pavese. Áno, smrť príde po každého z nás. No a keď to napokon príde, ide i o to, či bude v jej očiach pochopenie, súcit a aspoň kúsok dôstojnosti, s ktorou môžeme odísť. Na Slovensku je to však až príliš často nedosiahnuteľná ilúzia.O smrti najradšej mlčíme a umieranie je u nás neraz sprevádané nedôstojnosťou a zápasom o aspoň akú takú ľudskosť - neraz pritom vykúpenú poslednými úsporami či dokonca kostolnými zbierkami. Žijeme tak v krajine, kde sa ešte stále bojíme umierania - nie však pre jeho existenciálnu výzvu, ale pre hlboký nezáujem tohto štátu o ľudí i na tej ich naozaj poslednej ceste. Táto krajina tak zrejme pre umierajúcich nie je. V paráfráze na známy film bratov Coenovcov, sa tak natíska otázka: Pre koho je potom táto krajina, ak nie je ani pre tých, ktorí umierajú? "Verím, že keď si vstúpime do svedomia a zosobníme si problémy, ktoré sú tu naozaj problémami - a dobré a zlé mimovládky to nie sú, ale to s čím sa tu dennodenne stýkame - a smrť tam patrí, tak to sú tie problémy, s ktorými sa musíme ako spoločnosť zaoberať a len potom vieme spoločne žiť v takej krajine, kde sa nebudeme báť umierať - lebo si povieme, že na to nemáme," hovorí Stískalová z AHPS. O strastiach umierania na Slovensku vie svoje aj Asociácia hospicovej a paliatívnej starostlivosti. Tá koncom minulého roka takmer skrachovala a kvôli podfinancovaniu sa dokonca ako "charita" sama uchádzala o charitu nás všetkých."Hospice prežili vďaka darom, ale tá najväčšia čast bola, že sa samotní zamestnanci vzdávali svojich výplat v prospech hospicov," pripoína Simona Stískalová Ani dnes to hospice nemajú vôbec vyhraté no na Asociáciu sa - ako na mimovládku, už valí hnev vládnej moci, ktorá sa rozhodla Tretiemu sektoru vyhlásiť studenú vojnu. Tú vojnu pritom vedie práve s tými, ktorí tak často suplujú úlohy štátu v oblasti sociálnej, vzdelávacej či v oblasti zdravotníckej. Asociácia hospcovej a paliatívnej starostlivosti preto proti tzv. Ruskému zákonu protestuje, moc vyzýva na dialóg a svojim kolegom z údajne "politických mimovládok" vyjadruje plnú podporu i solidaritu.Ráno Nahlas, so Simonou Stískalovou z Asociácie hospicovej a paliatívnej starostlivosti.

We're getting back to the basics of hospice - talking about starting hospice care, and what you can expect from a hospice admission. Hospice nurse Beth Cavenaugh helps to navigate this topic. There are a lot of moving parts that compose the admission to hospice care. Here are some of the main things you should know about hospice admissions: The admission process includes assessment visits from the hospice nurse, social worker, and chaplain as well visits from other disciplines like a volunteer coordinator and an aide or CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant). Within the first 5 days of being admitted to hospice, a patient and their caregiver can expect visits from each of the core disciplines on the team (nurse, chaplain, social worker). This is due to hospice regulations and agency policies. Patients and caregivers have the right to refuse visits from certain disciplines on the team. A visit from the nurse at least every 2 weeks is required. It's always better to allow the assessment visits from each discipline to happen. This is the best way to find out what support each person from the team has to offer. While the process is lengthy and involves a lot of documentation, the time spent on an admission to hospice helps the team take better care of the patient and learn what matters most to them.

Could it be the SHOTS?We are pummeled with headlines about the horrors of chronic disease and cancers in America. Thanks to the MSM and #MAHA propaganda we are conditioned to believe it's due environmental contamination, genetic disorders and/or super scary deadly airborne viruses, among other things.But what if it is all connected to a century of mass vaccination?According to researcher Judyth Vary Baker, the SV-40 contamination of polio shots in the 1950's has set in motion a devastating course of death and chronic disease in America and the cover up has been one of the most sophisticated mass propaganda operations ever witnessed.Her story of participation in the first gain of function research in New Orleans in 1963 is a fascinating peak into where it all started and is critical in understanding how to stop the lies and misinformation to protect ourselves and our families.Tune in LIVE ——> https://rumble.com/v6ryhpj-part-2-live-exclusive-with-judyth-vary-baker..htmlWatch LIVE TODAY and follow the SJ Show on Rumble HERE: https://rumble.com/c/TheShannonJoyShowStart COOKING with toxin free ceramic!!

This week, we check back in with former guest and irrepressible force Deanna! A few weeks back, we drove up to Casper, WY to meet Deanna in person for the first time. And during our lovely visit, we all decided it was time for a public update on Deanna, who was diagnosed with ALS at the start of 2024.  Deanna has moved to in-patient hospice in recent months and, along with her husband Oren, wanted to share her experience with us and the world. Her take on the emotional and physical benefits of in-patient hospice is truly eye-opening. Deanna, her friends, and her family are incredibly grateful that hospice allows her friends and family to—in a phrase we heard repeatedly—just love on her. Not physically care for her. Not worry about her meds. Not be on call to handle all of the challenging aspects of end-of-life care. Just...love on her.  Unbeknownst to Deanna, we also had a special surprise for her waiting in the wings. And it's honestly best to see it happen...so even if you listen to this full episode as usual, swing on over to our channel on YouTube to watch the surprise happen. And please check out Deanna's book "Embracing the End: Discovering Peace and Purpose At the End of Life" now available for sale on Amazon. It's a great, hilarious, and heart-lifting read. Because of course it is.

With remarkable candor, Dina reveals the unexpected realities of home hospice care—administering morphine every few hours with minimal professional support, experiencing moments of dark humor amidst heartbreak, and feeling the conflicting emotions of not wanting a loved one to die while being exhausted by their prolonged suffering.The conversation explores the concept of "ambiguous loss"—grief experienced not from death but from relationship changes—which Dina encountered during her sister's years-long battle with alcoholism. She articulates how this differs from the anticipatory grief she felt watching her mother's cancer progress, offering valuable insights for anyone navigating complex family relationships affected by addiction or illness.Most powerfully, Dina challenges the common misconception that grief follows five neat stages before we "move on." Instead, she describes learning to integrate grief permanently into her life: "I'm now a person forevermore that carries grief with me every single day, but I have a ton of joy." This reframing offers tremendous hope to listeners feeling overwhelmed by loss, demonstrating how we can honor our departed loved ones while still embracing happiness.Dina's book "So Sorry for Your Loss" emerged from recognizing how uncomfortable most people are discussing grief. She combines personal memoir with journalistic exploration of topics like pet loss, hospice care, and the connection between food and mourning. Her work reminds us that acknowledging grief openly doesn't diminish joy—it creates space for authentic healing and deeper connection with both the living and those we've lost.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bereaved-but-still-me--2108929/support.

Rebranding a nonprofit isn't just about new logos or fresh colors—it's an emotional journey deeply rooted in the mission, culture, and service commitment of an organization. James Dismond, CEO of Mirasol Health, formerly Hospice Care of the Low Country, joined host Julia Patrick to share the inspiring, often emotional, details of their transformative rebranding.For decades, Hospice Care of the Low Country was a dedicated nonprofit, caring for patients facing end-of-life scenarios. Yet, despite their essential services, the organization faced an existential challenge: staying relevant in an evolving healthcare landscape. A candid internal study revealed a stark truth: if no changes were made, they faced closure within five years.James vividly recalls the moment that changed his personal and professional trajectory. On his very first day, several patients passed away, confronting him directly with his deepest fear—death. Instead of turning away, he embraced this fear, turning it into a profound passion. James noted, “That fear has since transcended into my greatest passion, and I'm very blessed for that.”The rebranding initiative was far from simple. It was two years in the making, involving rigorous strategic analysis, extensive stakeholder consultations, and an honest assessment of community perceptions. The word “Hospice” was a significant barrier, fraught with fear and misunderstanding. This realization was a pivotal turning point. James explains, "The powerful messages we are getting back just touch my heart every single day."Ultimately, the staff themselves coined the new name, “Mirasol,” symbolizing "rare and radiant sunflower," beautifully capturing the legacy and spirit of the organization's enduring symbol—the sunflower. This rebranding was not merely aesthetic; it expanded the scope of services, adding chronic symptom management and soon behavioral health, significantly broadening their community impact.The process brought substantial internal shifts, compelling deep introspection and alignment from the board, leadership, and staff. It was emotionally challenging but profoundly rewarding, significantly boosting community engagement, donations, and overall business performance.Today, Mirasol Health stands as a vibrant example of successful nonprofit transformation, rooted in authenticity and courage. “If you do the research, the strategy, and deliver it thoughtfully, the payoff is truly incredible.”#NonprofitRebrand #CommunityHealth #ChangeLeadershipFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Illinois could legalize assisted suicide. The End of Life Options Act gives doctors the greenlight to perscribe death-causing drugs to adult patients diagnosed with a terminal illness. Life leaders warn that legal suicide in Illinois will eventually be expanded to cover people with non terminal conditions and even children. Following a testimony during a state Senate hearing in Chicago, Dr. Kevin Garner spoke with IFI’s Monte Larrick about the End of Life Options Act. Dr. Garner is an internal medicine specialist, and is board certified in hospice and pallative care.… Continue Reading

With humor, honesty, and a whole lot of insight, we explore creative tools like The Death Deck, the emotional realities of caregiving, and how just starting the conversation (even at game night!) can empower families to plan with love—not panic.

One of my main jobs as a guide is to tell people to sit still and be with that demon for a little while. Lean into it. Compassion can only arise after there is direct contact with the quality of suffering. You can't short-circuit that fundamental step. You can't heal something until you can meet it directly, nakedly, intimately."– RamDevSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
