Today I sit down with grief coach and author Shelby Forsythia to explore how grief—far from being an enemy—becomes our most profound teacher. Shelby shares her raw journey of losing her mother at 21, the ‘four years of hell' that reshaped her life, and how a stolen wallet unlocked her path to becoming a ‘student of grief.' Together, we unpack the myths of ‘moving on,' the power of tiny grief mantras, and how synchronicities (like palindromes!) connect us to loved ones beyond the veil. If you've ever felt ‘stuck' in loss or wondered how joy and sorrow coexist, this conversation is your roadmap.

Join Gayle Gerdes, Vice President of Health Policy Source and consultant to HPNA, and HPNA Manager of Advocacy and Health Policy Sarah Potter as they reflect on their experiences meeting with congressional staffers about HPNA's public policy priorities and amplifying the voices of hospice and palliative care nurses.

Key highlights include: The purpose and power of advocacy—why storytelling matters Updates on the current climate in Washington, proposed cuts to healthcare programs that impact the interprofessional team and patient access to care, and HPNA's efforts to advance legislation supporting hospice and palliative care nursing HPNA's collaborations with national coalition partners and legislative champions in the House and Senate Reflections on the importance of nurse-led advocacy and new opportunities for HPNA members to share their stories and effect policy change at the state and national levels Whether you're new to policy or a seasoned advocate, this episode will leave you inspired to raise your voice—and equipped to do so effectively.

In this episode of Coming from Left Field, we dive into America's broken elder care system with Judy Karofsky, author of “DisElderly Conduct: The Flawed Business of Assisted Living and Hospice.” We discuss how corporate greed and lack of regulation have turned assisted living into a profit-driven nightmare, where facilities—often run by private equity firms—prioritize cost-cutting over resident dignity. With shocking stories from Judy's own mother's ordeal (including wrongful death notices and evictions), the conversation highlights systemic neglect, underpaid staff, and families left powerless. Our discussion pivots to solutions, from policy reforms (like Biden's stalled staffing mandates) to grassroots activism. Judy's book serves as a rallying cry, comparing the crisis to Silent Spring—a wake-up call to demand dignity for the elderly. While the system feels rigged, the episode ends on a note of defiance: by sharing stories, organizing, and pressuring lawmakers, change is possible. This is a raw, urgent look at a crisis affecting us all—because, as Judy warns, “Every one of us will need or provide this care someday.” Order the book: https://diselderlyconduct.com/ Greg's Blog: http://zzs-blg.blogspot.com/ Pat's Substack: https://patcummings.substack.com/about #private equity healthcare#elder care crisis#assisted living problems#nursing home abuse# private equity healthcare#elder care costs#aging in America# hospice c#are flaws#Judy Karofsky interview#Diselderly#Conduct book#senior living scams#Medicare assisted living#elder care reform#caregiver burnout#elder rights advocacy#aging parents care#elder care horror stories#VA vs private elder care#Pat Cummings#Greg Godels#ZZ Blog#Coming From Left Field#CFLF#Podcast#zzblog#mltoday

The inmate population at the state Prison at Waymart in Northeastern PA is older than most other state lockups. And its volunteer-based hospice program allows inmates to receive training to care for other inmates at the end of their lives. The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) recently announced a new initiative, creating a new statewide Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Technical Assistance Center, hailed as the first-of-its kind in the nation. Joining us for a deeper dive is Jackie Weaknecht, director of PCCD's office of justice programs.

If civilizations are judged by how they care for their elderly, our report card is already written. Should there be anyone left to judge us – should humanity exist long enough to judge us – we've flunked.Steve's guest is Judy Karofsky, author of 'DisElderly Conduct: The Flawed Business of Assisted Living and Hospice,' who provides a critical examination of the elder care industry. Judy discusses her own struggles with assisted living facilities and hospice care, highlighting the systemic issues driven by the profit motive and lack of federal oversight. Assisted living is meant to be for seniors who don't yet need a nursing home. The facilities are supposed to provide the dignity of independence with up to three hours of care per week. Unfortunately, that means from zero to three. Often, it's zero – with no nurse on staff.In many cases the move from independent living isn't a health decision. It's business. The assisted living business is about real estate investment, not the needs of our nation's seniors. "Big investors, big REITs, Real Estate Investment Trusts, and yes, private equity have seen the potential and they're investing and the decision-making moves farther and farther away from the individual facility and farther and farther away from the resident.”Steve makes a case that will be familiar to our followers: that healthcare – and its federal oversight – are policy decisions, connected to ideology. It's the belief that there is no public money. ”There is only private property and there's only private equity and there's only private capital. And that when you impose regulations, you're imposing undue constraints on capital to do what capital would like to do. We have to start thinking about the world differently.”The episode illustrates the urgent need for reform in elder care. These challenges will one day touch everyone's lives or those of their loved ones.Judy Karofsky was a city council member and one of Wisconsin's first women mayors (Middleton). During her term of office, she established a now-thriving senior center and emergency medical services. She served on the executive staff of a governor and held multiple roles in housing and economic development for a state agency, a nonprofit housing development organization, and her own research firm. Before organizing and providing care for her mother, Judy filled interim positions for a statewide women's network – focusing on elder economic security – and for a coalition of state aging groups. Serving on nonprofit and municipal boards, she participates in policy discussions and comments publicly on demographic trends and urban growth.

Since June's theme is Post Life I wanted to run a previously recorded episode discussing Hospice Care. Join me Jenny D as I delve into the often misunderstood world of hospice care with bereavement coordinator Rebecca from Allegheny Health Network. In this heartfelt episode, we unpack the true essence of hospice, exploring its roots and importance in providing quality of life rather than focusing solely on the end of life. Listeners will discover how hospice is not about surrendering but shifting the focus of care, and learn about the vast support system that exists to help both patients and their families during challenging times. From the role of volunteers to post-passing bereavement support, they discuss the comprehensive nature of hospice care, highlighting stories of resilience and compassion. Whether you're curious about hospice for a loved one or interested in volunteer opportunities, this episode sheds light on how hospice services are a pivotal part of healthcare, ensuring dignity and comfort in the latter stages of life.

Gabriel Most LCSW, RN has always been interested in how our minds work and what motivates us. He has worked as an LCSW in Hospital, Hospice, and Outpatient settings for over twenty years with adults, couples, and families. For the last ten years, he has also worked as a Registered nurse (RN) as an adjunct to his Therapeutic practice, incorporating wellness techniques and practices for daily life. He has also taught Mental Health Care to RN students. "As someone who was born outside of the U.S., whose first language was not English, and as a gay person, I suffered from low self-esteem and the challenges of identifying with a marginalized sexual orientation. It was only when I went to college and volunteered as a peer counselor working with those challenged by addiction, depression, grief, and PTSD that I began the journey of being comfortable in my skin. Through my mental health journey, I embarked on the work of finding my voice, feeling relaxed and proud of my own identity, and then advocating for those who also felt marginalized, unseen, or stereotyped. This process also allowed me to fine-tune my skills when it came to questions of self-identity. I took this passion and went to Hunter College School of Social Work to obtain my LCSW and then later my RN at Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing so that I could help people explore the connections between caring for the mind and body as a partnership to ensure maximum success and life balance."

Matt Crawford speaks with author Judy Karofsky about her book, DisElderly Conduct: The Flawed Business of Assisted Living and Hospice. The book is a personal account of unmet needs in assisted living and hospice aiming to spark discussions about new approaches for America's aging population and family decision makers. There are 30 thousand assisted living facilities in the US, but most are unaffordable for middleclass Americans and fraught with staffing deficiencies and mismanagement. Chapters on the author's experience helping her mother move from an age-restricted community in Florida to independent living in Wisconsin to assisted living will interest seniors and their family members who know the struggle of finding long term affordable care. The chapter on hospice care distinguishes it from assisted living through the author's experiences and misconceptions, then moves to a broader discussion of Medicare spending, and finally a meditation on dying of old age. The author strikes an effective balance between the personal, political, and cultural aspects of aging. Karofsky dedicates the last chapter of the book to a discussion of recent failures to protect long term care patients during the COVID19 pandemic.

In this episode, we sit down with Pat Labez, a dynamic and multifaceted individual who has embraced life's many transitions, from a young realtor to a passionate advocate for seniors and mental health. Born in the Philippines, raised in Hawaii, and having lived from coast to coast in the U.S., Pat's journey has been anything but conventional, but it's a testament to the power of reinvention and purpose.Pat is the founder of Third Act Encore Publishing and curator of the book Third Act Encore, where I had the honor of contributing a chapter. This book is a creative celebration of the later years in life, offering inspiration and empowerment for seniors. Through her work, Pat has also pioneered creative programs that provide enrichment for the senior community, combining her deep compassion for others with her love for the arts.She's a lifelong advocate for seniors and mental health, co-founding the International Mental Health Foundation, a non-profit that brings awareness to mental health and disabilities through the arts. Her advocacy is rooted in her personal experiences, which led her to pivot from a career in real estate to working in long-term care services.Pat's journey is expansive—starting as a realtor at the age of 22 in Hawaii, she eventually became a director for several non-profit organizations, including Elder Care Alliance and American Red Cross. She has volunteered for AARP, Alzheimer's Association, Council on Aging, Hospice, and many others, always putting seniors and mental health at the forefront of her efforts.In her late 60s, Pat returned to the creative arts and entertainment world, where she became an actor, producer, and international bestselling author. Her career highlights include roles in shows like Blue Bloods and New Amsterdam, and she is known for her work in feature films such as Baby Ruby and Howard.Now a Seniors Real Estate Specialist in New Jersey, Pat continues her journey of reinvention. Her story is a shining example of embracing the third act of life with joy, purpose, and passion.Join us as we discuss how Pat's diverse career, advocacy, and creative pursuits have shaped her life, and how we can all live fully and authentically in our later years.Her favorite quotes are: “Life is a gift that keeps on giving” - Voltaire“Don't die with the music still in you” - Wayne Dyer
