This week on Into The Necrosphere, I'm joined by Skyggen of black metal battalion Terrestrial Hospice. Having been a fan of his work for years, the release of the band's devastating new album Omnicide: Chapter 1 finally provided the perfect excuse to bring him onto the show for his debut appearance. We discuss his journey from discovering King Diamond and Darkthrone as a kid in Poland, forming his first band and becoming immersed in the country's chaotic black metal underground, to ultimately taking on the role of guitarist and vocalist in Terrestrial Hospice. After that, it's on to the Weekly News Rant, where I round up the latest singles by Lugubrious Garment, Azarath, Enslaved, Hatesphere and Sarcator for judgment. I'm also answering your questions, including social media's impact on the metal scene, Blackie Lawless' alleged use of backing tracks, and the new project Chants featuring former Gaerea guitarist Miguel Vanziller. I also reveal my five favourite video game soundtracks and games, list some of the best newer Norwegian black metal bands, lament the Springboks' defeat to the Wallabies, and give you my thoughts on the new Resident Evil movie. Plus: One-man black metal project Diem Mortis features on this week's Unsanctioned Filth segment.

A hospital stay can “fix” the medical crisis and still leave you weaker than when you went in. We sit down with Jonathan Gasso, owner of PARC Home Care and Hospice and an occupational therapist by training, to talk honestly about what happens next for seniors and families trying to navigate recovery, safety, and the desire to stay home as long as possible.We break down the confusing language you hear during discharge planning, including SNF, rehab center, and skilled nursing facility, and why “hospital atrophy” makes falls and loss of independence more likely. Then we get practical about skilled home health care: how physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and skilled nursing can come directly into the home, how visit frequency is decided, and why so much of this support is covered by Medicare and insurance when you have the right physician order. We also talk through real needs families face, from Parkinson's mobility challenges and getting in and out of a car, to stroke recovery, feeding and swallowing issues, wound care, catheter changes, medication management, and pressure sore prevention.The second half turns to the hard pivot families dread: when progress plateaus and the goal shifts from “stronger” to “comfortable.” We explain hospice eligibility, what the six-month prognosis really means, how people can come on and off hospice, and why a true hospice team helps both the patient and the family with symptom management, pain control, planning support, and spiritual care. Faith, reflection, and forgiveness show up here too, because end-of-life care is never only medical.If you're supporting aging parents or planning senior care, listen, share this with someone who needs it, and subscribe so you never miss a new conversation.About Next Steps 4 Seniors: Conversations on AgingConversations on Aging brings together trusted experts, practical resources, and meaningful conversations to help seniors and their families navigate aging with greater confidence.Need help finding the right senior living or care options?

When a terminally ill human wants the same, they get a legal obstacle course, a 15-day waiting period, and a lecture. This episode tackles medical aid in dying without the theatrics. As of 2026, it's legal in 13 states plus D.C., with New York the newest to sign on yet in nearly three decades, fewer than 13,000 Americans have actually used it, under some of the strictest oversight in medicine. We unpack the ethics, the safeguards, the disability-rights concerns, and the strange fact that "self-administration" laws can exclude the very people who need help most.

The best design in healthcare is the kind you never notice. When it works, a patient feels safe before a clinician says a word. When it doesn't, trust wears away one small friction point at a time.Jamie sits down with Mallory Phillips, creative director at Your Health. She led the creation of the company's logo and now helps shape how its teams learn. Mallory trained in advertising design at the Savannah College of Art and Design, and she argues that design is far bigger than logos and brochures. It covers forms, instructions, onboarding, the words staff choose, and the moment a clinician steps into a patient's home.In this episode:Why patient experience rarely fails because of one big mistake, and how a hundred small friction points do the damage insteadHow in-home care flips the rules: you're a guest in someone's home, so trust has to be earned differentlyWhat Chick-fil-A's "my pleasure" and Airbnb's "home away from home" can teach healthcareThe science of readable design, and why a confusing door handle is the designer's failure, not the user'sThe story inside the Your Health logo, from a handwritten signature to a plus sign that puts the patient at the centerIf you've ever wondered why some care feels personal and some feels like paperwork, this conversation answers it. You'll also come away noticing the small details that make people feel seen. www.YourHealth.Org

203 Facing Hospice Concerns: Stories and Solutions Host Marie Betcher, a registered nurse and former hospice nurse, shares two recent conversations highlighting common hospice challenges. In one case, a grandparent was admitted to hospice only 10 hours before death, leaving little time for family education; a caller described being told to "just give them more" medication without clear dosing guidance, underscoring the need for better instruction and repeated follow-up calls for clarification. In the second case, an only child caregiver needed a medical procedure and worried about being unable to physically care for a parent; Marie discusses contacting the hospice team for help, including respite care options such as short-term nursing home placement through Medicare, as well as self-pay adult family homes, nursing homes, or CNAs, noting costs and limited resources. She reminds listeners hospice is not typically a full-time caregiver, suggests using Medicare.gov to find and compare agencies, and encourages reaching out or switching providers if needs aren't met. 00:00 Welcome and Disclaimer 00:28 Meet Your Host Marie 00:42 Story One Late Hospice Referral 01:32 Medication Guidance Needs 02:51 Story Two Caregiver Crisis 03:47 Respite and Care Options 05:05 Keep Calling Hospice Team 05:26 Hospice Is Not the Caregiver 05:54 Finding and Switching Agencies 07:00 Closing Thoughts and Contact   If you want to help, you can donate to help support Hospice Explained at the Buy me a Coffee link   https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Hospice  Hospice Explained Affiliates & Contact Information Buying from these Affilite links will help support this Podcast.  Maire introduces a partnership with Suzanne Mayer RN inventor of the  cloud9caresystem.com,  When patients remain in the same position for extended periods, they are at high risk of developing pressure injuries, commonly known as bedsores.

A short-term home health and moratorium was a necessary action because of rampant fraud in the hospice sector, said Tom Koutsoumpas, founder and CEO of the National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation (NPHI). Still, the moratorium, which is designed to contain and address egregious activities, is meant to be a short-term solution, said Koutsoumpas, who was involved when the benefit was created in the 1980s. There has been an overreaction during the moratorium, he noted, and acknowledged that some of his members have been subject to unnecessary audits. While the question of the moratorium has divided provider organizations, more imperative is that the community as a whole support and encourage the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in their fraud-fighting efforts, he said. The organization's support of the moratorium and may be one reason why NPHI has experienced a surge of new members of late. On another subject, he is excited about the attention palliative care has been receiving from CMS in rulemaking. NPHI has proposed a palliative care model that would be adjacent to the hospice benefit. More details are forthcoming, he said.Follow us on social media:X: @McKHomeCareFacebook: McKnight's Home CareLinkedIn: McKnight's Home CareInstagram: mcknights_homecareFollow NPHI on social media:X: @NPHIhealthFacebook: National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice InnovationLinkedIn: National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation (NPHI)Show contributors:McKnight's Home Care Editor Liza Berger; Tom Koutsoumpas, founder and CEO, National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation (NPHI) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Send us Fan MailThe future of hospice is being rewritten—and the organizations that prepare now may be the ones best positioned to serve patients in a value-based world.Healthcare is rapidly moving beyond traditional fee-for-service toward models focused on outcomes, total cost of care, and coordinated care delivery.  In Part One of The Critical Competencies Hospice Leaders Must Build for Value-Based Care Success, host Chris Comeaux sits down with Dr. Jessica Hubbs, Internist and Chief Clinical Officer at Advanced Care Innovations, to explore what this transformation means for hospice and palliative care leaders. Dr. Hubbs examines emerging models such as LEAD (Long-term Enhanced ACO Design) and why moving care further upstream could create both disruption and significant opportunity for hospice organizations.  The conversation explores how hospice's strengths in advanced care planning, complex conversations, patient goals and values, and interdisciplinary care could become increasingly valuable across the broader serious illness continuum. But succeeding in this new environment will require new capabilities.  Chris and Dr. Hubbs discuss the importance of end-to-end clinical care, complex primary care, care coordination, financial-risk readiness, and collaborative partnerships with ACOs and other risk-bearing organizations—and why the future may be less about competing for the patient and more about building integrated models around them. Episode HighlightsWhy hospice leaders need to understand the shift to value-based careWhat the LEAD model could mean for serious illness careThe opportunity to bring hospice expertise further upstreamCritical clinical capabilities hospice organizations need to developCombining hospice and palliative expertise with home-based primary careWhat ACOs and risk-bearing organizations want from hospice partnersGuest:  Dr. Jessica Hubbs, Internist and the Chief Clinical Officer at Advanced Care Innovations Host: Chris Comeaux, President / CEO of TELEIOS, author of The Anatomy of LeadershipThe Anatomy of Leadership podcast explores the art and science of leadership through candid, insightful conversations with thought leaders, innovators, and change-makers from a variety of industries.

AI tools are already showing up in hospice operations whether organizations have formal policies for them or not—and the compliance and liability questions are emerging just as quickly. In this two-part series, Husch Blackwell's Bryan Nowicki and Taylor Crossley break down what the legal exposure looks like across clinical documentation, vendor relationships, and billing, and they take hospice leaders through concrete steps for building AI governance to stay ahead of associated risks.

When a family hears the words “hospice care,” they often believe hospice will come into the home and provide all the daily, hands-on care their loved one needs. Sadly, that is not how home hospice usually works. The word care means providing what someone needs for their health, comfort, safety, and well-being. It sounds like someone will be there doing the caregiving. The word consulting means giving expert advice, teaching, guidance, and support. That is much closer to how routine home hospice works. The hospice team checks on the patient, manages symptoms, orders equipment and medications, answers questions, and teaches the family what to do. But in most cases, the family provides the daily care between hospice visits. In this episode of Ask a Death Doula, Suzanne B. O'Brien, RN, shares what she learned while caring for more than 1,000 patients at the end of life. As a former hospice nurse, Suzanne often had about one hour in a patient's home. During that visit, she had to assess the patient, review medications, manage symptoms, teach the family, answer questions, calm fears, and explain what might happen next. Then she had to leave. The family stayed—and they were often frightened, overwhelmed, and unprepared for the care they were expected to provide. This is not a criticism of the caring nurses, aides, social workers, chaplains, and other professionals working in hospice. They are doing important and sacred work. This is about a healthcare model that families often do not understand until they are already in a crisis. In This Episode, You Will Learn: What the word care leads families to expect Why consulting may be a clearer description of home hospice What hospice provides—and what it usually does not provide Why families often enter hospice without enough time to prepare What Suzanne experienced during her years as a hospice nurse Why family caregivers need education before a crisis How learning the three phases of end of life can reduce fear Why caregiving should never fall on one exhausted person How we can return end-of-life care to families and communities What Families Need to Know A person can qualify for Medicare hospice when a doctor believes they may have six months or less to live if the illness follows its normal path. Yet the median hospice stay was only 19 days in 2024. This means half of hospice patients received hospice services for 19 days or fewer. In 2024, hospice patients received an average of 3.9 in-person visits per week. Those visits totaled about 3½ hours of hospice staff time each week. There are 168 hours in a week. Who is present during the remaining hours? Usually, it is the family caregiver. Hospice is a vital part of the care team—but hospice alone is not a complete caregiving plan. We Used to Know How to Do This One hundred years ago, caring for someone at the end of life was a skill passed down from grandmother to grandchild. Families understood how the body changed. They knew how to provide comfort, gather support, sit with someone who was dying, and create meaningful rituals. Death was not carried by one person. It was held by the family and the community. We have not lost our ability to care. We have lost the education and community support that once showed us how. There Is a Better Way Doulagivers Institute was created to fill this education gap. The free Level 1 Family Caregiver Training teaches the three phases of end of life in clear, simple language. It helps families understand: What changes they may see Why those changes are happening What they can do to provide comfort When they should call for help How they can create a peaceful and sacred space This education can reduce fear, build confidence, support healthier grief, and help families understand that the natural dying process is not a medical failure. The training is free and available in 15 languages because every family deserves access to this knowledge. Do not wait until someone you love is actively dying. Learn these skills now—and share them with your family and community. Every one of us will someday be called to show up for someone we love. Knowing what to do changes everything.

Dr. Galina Rader describes her journey from practicing pediatric ENT medicine in Russia to becoming a board-certified family physician and hospice specialist in the United States. The conversation focuses on the challenges of providing palliative and hospice care to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), including difficulties in predicting end-of-life needs, managing complex medication regimens, and avoiding inappropriate hospice referrals based solely on disabilities such as cerebral palsy or intellectual disability. Dr. Rader emphasizes the importance of early palliative care involvement, careful medication management, individualized clinical assessment, and better education for healthcare professionals. She highlights that hospice care can provide significant benefits through comprehensive support for patients, families, caregivers, and care staff when appropriately applied, and concludes by stressing three key priorities: advance planning, thoughtful medication adjustments, and ongoing education to improve healthcare outcomes for people with IDD.

201 Hospice Explained: Margaret Montes RN, BSN, PHN on Early Hospice Nursing, Comfort Care, and Family Education Host Marie Betcher, RN, interviews retired hospice nurse Margaret Montes RN, BSN, PHN with facilitator Cindy Cisneros. Margaret, raised in Puerto Rico and licensed in 1976, joined the new Hospice of East San Gabriel Valley in 1987 and worked 33 years, starting when the census was eight patients and she was the only nurse; her bilingual skills helped serve Spanish-speaking families. They discuss early obstacles such as recruiting nurses suited for hospice, later team disagreements resolved through weekly interdisciplinary meetings, and common family fears that hospice or medications (including morphine) hasten death, emphasizing comfort as the goal. Margaret shares end-of-life visioning stories and a case where a family called 911 despite DNR wishes. They stress educating families on the dying process (including Barbara Karnes' "blue book"), bereavement follow-up, and analogies like the body as an aging car and end of life mirroring infancy. 00:00 Welcome and Disclaimer 00:29 Meet Marie and Guests 01:49 Margaret Finds Hospice 05:26 Early Hospice Challenges 07:28 Team Meetings Behind Scenes 10:43 Hospice Does Not Hasten Death 12:14 Comfort Beyond Medication 14:25 End of Life Visions Stories 18:07 When Families Call 911 20:46 What Everyone Should Know 24:01 Family Dynamics and Aftercare 27:39 Faith Fear and Support 29:46 Analogies for Dying Process 32:08 Final Thanks and Subscribe   If you want to help, you can donate to help support Hospice Explained at the Buy me a Coffee link   https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Hospice  Hospice Explained Affiliates & Contact Information Buying from these Affilite links will help support this Podcast.  Maire introduces a partnership with Suzanne Mayer RN inventor of the  cloud9caresystem.com,  When patients remain in the same position for extended periods, they are at high risk of developing pressure injuries, commonly known as bedsores.

Jeana Newbern is here from the Lake Sunapee Region VNA with Adrea Patrick-Baudet, new Chief Executive Officer, as we talk about Andrea's new role at the VNA, her history in Hospice, the team she has joined, working in a such a great organization , events coming up with the VNA and lots more.

What if one of the most loving conversations we could have… is also the one most of us would rather avoid? Yes, today we're talking about death, baby! But don't go anywhere—because this conversation is really about love, peace, connection, and living more fully right up until our very last breath. My guest, Melissa Lewis, is a registered nurse, certified hospice and care nurse, teacher, and founder of Heartspace for Healing & Hospice. For more than 30 years, she has supported thousands of individuals and families through some of life's most tender transitions. But Melissa's calling began much earlier, when at just 19 she stood frightened and helpless as she watched her grandmother suffer in a hospital. That experience eventually led her to discover a very different way of approaching the end of life—one that brings together modern medicine, ancient wisdom, spiritual connection, and compassionate presence. Today we'll talk about what actually happens as someone approaches the end of life, how we can lovingly support them without being overwhelmed by fear, and why getting our own “ducks in a row” may be one of the greatest gifts we ever give the people we love. Because perhaps talking about death doesn't diminish life at all. Maybe it reminds us just how precious it is.  So… Let's Talk About Death, Baby! “Let's Call IT in With Dar”! Support the showFull Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.comPhoto credit: Rebecca Lange Photography Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons)  Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.Grab Dar's Flight Deck Oracle Card DeckTake Dar's Archetype Quiz

200 Shari Brase-Smith RN, MS on Hospice Education, Facility Care, and Having Hard Conversations  Host Marie Betcher, a registered nurse and former hospice nurse, marks episode 200 of Hospice Explained with guest Shari Brase-Smith RN, MS, a hospice nurse, educator, and author. Shari recounts her nursing background since 1978 and how the rapid deaths of her husband and mother shaped her understanding of end-of-life needs, emphasizing that even experienced clinicians are often unprepared because healthcare and society focus on curing and avoid dying discussions. She describes why families and facility staff lack clear, practical guidance on what dying looks like, symptom management, and when to involve hospice, especially in nursing homes and assisted living. Shari explains her books are organized for quick, crisis-time answers, highlights the importance of conversations about wishes and forgiveness, and shares her Christian-focused poetry book on grief and hope. 00:00 Welcome and Disclaimer 00:29 Episode 200 Guest Intro 02:27 Shari's Nursing Journey 03:31 Personal Loss and Whirlwind 07:24 Why End-of-Life Education Matters 11:24 Books Filling the Resource Gap 17:02 Eating and Drinking at End of Life 19:17 Starting Hard Conversations 23:27 Forgiveness and Peace 27:28 Helping Facility Staff Work With Hospice 32:09 Poetry Faith and Grief 37:21 Closing Thanks and Subscribe https://sharibrase-smith.com/ If you want to help, you can donate to help support Hospice Explained at the Buy me a Coffee link   https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Hospice  Hospice Explained Affiliates & Contact Information Buying from these Affilite links will help support this Podcast.  Maire introduces a partnership with Suzanne Mayer RN inventor of the  cloud9caresystem.com,  When patients remain in the same position for extended periods, they are at high risk of developing pressure injuries, commonly known as bedsores.

EVEN MORE about this episode!What really happens in the final days and hours before we die? And why do so many dying people report seeing deceased loved ones and pets as death approaches?Julie Ryan sits down with certified End of Life Doula and death literacy educator Claire O'Berry for a revealing conversation about what families can expect as someone approaches the end of life—and why understanding the dying process may replace some of our deepest fears with greater peace.Claire walks Julie through her practical two-weeks-out, two-days-out, and two-hours-out framework, explaining the physical and emotional changes that can occur as the body begins its natural dying process. They explore what happens during the final hours, why dying may look very different from what families expect, and how knowing the signs can help loved ones feel less frightened and more prepared.They also dive into some of the most mysterious experiences surrounding death: terminal lucidity, the “death rally,” end-of-life visions, near-death experiences, and reports of dying people seeing deceased family members and beloved pets. Julie and Claire discuss research into these experiences and what they may suggest about consciousness, fear of death, and the possibility that we're not alone as we make the transition.Claire also explains what families often misunderstand about hospice and palliative care, when to begin preparing for the end of life, and why talking about death doesn't have to be frightening or morbid—it can help us live more intentionally while we're still here.Whether someone you love is approaching the end of life, you've witnessed something unexplained at a deathbed, or you've simply wondered what you might experience during your own final moments, this conversation offers a fascinating and reassuring look at one of life's greatest mysteries.Guest Biography:Claire O'Berry is a certified End of Life Doula, death literacy educator, international speaker, and host of the Dying Your Way podcast.
