Have any of you watched the movie “The Notebook”?  At the end, one of the characters, who has dementia, experiences an episode of lucidity.  When I watched it, between tears (I'm a complete softie) I remember thinking, “Oh no! This will give people false hope!  That their loved one is ‘in there.' If only they could find the right key to unlock the lock and let them out.” Today we talk about lucid episodes and what they might mean to the person with dementia, their family and loved ones, to philosophers, to clinicians, to neuroscientists. Our guests are Andrea Gilmore-Bykovskyi, a nurse researcher, and Andrew Peterson, a philosopher. We had a wide ranging discussion that touched on (among many things): A consensus definition developed at an NIH conference, organized by the recently retired NIA program officer Basil Eldadah (we will miss you Basil!). Andrew complicates this definition, stating is raises more questions than answers. Hospice nurses know that terminal lucidity “is a thing” and have pretty much all  seen it Family and caregiver stories of lucid episodes and what they meant to them, including early glimpses into a study Andrea is doing using video to capture episodes and show them to family. Potential for experiences to elicit “false hope”, misunderstanding/misinterpreting, and changing say code status from DNR to full code (rare but happens). Sam Parnia's work on brain activity during CPR and near death episodes Ethical issues these lucid episodes raise  Should clinicians treat people with dementia as always lucid? Having some level of awareness?  Parallels between how we treat people with advanced dementia, who may or may not be lucid, and how we treat AI, who may or may not be conscious, or experiencing paradoxical lucidity on their way to full consciousness.  I try to say please and thank you to the AI I interact with other than Alexa, who is obviously way behind. The Age of Aging podcast episode on lucidity, featuring Anne Bastings, Jason Karlawish, Elizabeth Donnarumma, and Justin Clapp Was Andrew's song choice, “I can see clearly now” better than Eric's suggestion “Silent Lucidity” by Queensryche?   Enjoy! -Alex Smith

In this episode of the Anxiety Chicks podcast, hosts Alison Seponara and Taylor interview Julie McFadden, a hospice nurse and author, who shares her insights on death, dying, and the importance of discussing these topics openly. Julie discusses her transition from ICU nursing to hospice care, the emotional responses people have to death, and the significance of understanding mortality to live more fully. The conversation emphasizes the need for education around end-of-life choices and the healthcare system's role in supporting patients and families during this difficult time. Hospice Nurse Julie: Julie McFadden, RN, is a hospice and palliative care nurse, educator, and viral content creator widely known as @HospiceNurseJulie. With over 15 years of experience in critical care and end-of-life nursing, Julie has made it her mission to demystify death and bring comfort, clarity, and compassion to a topic many fear. After years in the ICU, Julie transitioned to hospice care—where she found her true calling: helping patients and families embrace the final chapter of life with dignity and peace. Her approachable, honest, and deeply human perspective on death has made her a trusted voice across social media and beyond. She is the author of the New York Times bestselling book, Nothing to Fear: Demystifying Death to Live More Fully—a powerful guide that blends personal stories, medical insight, and emotional wisdom to help readers release fear and live more fully. Julie has been featured in The Washington Post, People Magazine, Good Morning America, and more. Through her work, she is transforming the way we talk about death—and showing the world that there is, in fact, nothing to fear. https://a.co/d/fA2EqyO or if you haven't read Nothing To Fear you can buy it now here : https://a.co/d/3eyESQb Follow her on social media: @hospicenursejulie or website hospicenursejulie.com Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Hospice Nurse Julie 03:38 Transition from ICU to Hospice Nursing 06:29 Understanding Death and Dying 09:21 The Role of Hospice in End-of-Life Care 12:02 The Book: Nothing to Fear 14:53 Normalizing Conversations About Death 17:39 The Importance of Language in Discussing Death 20:43 Facing Death: Emotions and Experiences 23:40 Finding Peace in Acceptance 26:12 The Therapeutic Value of Discussing Death 28:13 Understanding Death and Health Anxiety 30:22 Patterns in the Dying Process 33:19 Quality of Life vs. Prolonging Life 37:35 Navigating Healthcare Decisions 38:47 Legal Preparations for End-of-Life Wishes 40:57 Finding Trustworthy Healthcare Professionals 43:29 The Business of Healthcare and Dying 44:30 Encouraging Conversations About Death

When it comes to managing serious illness or the final phase of life, surveys show that a majority of Americans say they have at least heard of hospice or palliative care but most admit they may not know a lot about either topic.

In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Heidi Rose, a woman whose story will move you, stretch you, and break you open in all the ways that matter. Heidi lost her husband, Jason, to brain cancer, and the journey there was anything but simple. She opens up about the heartbreaking transformation she witnessed as cancer took over, not just his body, but parts of their shared life. We talk about the night he passed, how their children processed it, and what it means to grieve, rebuild, and keep living.But this conversation goes deeper than loss. Heidi speaks about her healing through trauma, through childhood abuse, and through unconventional paths like EMDR, Al-Anon, and plant medicine. She talks about finding her voice, regaining peace, and learning that real love sometimes means letting go.This episode is for anyone who's walked through pain they never thought they'd survive. It's for those navigating grief, complex family dynamics, or simply trying to find meaning when life doesn't go to plan.You'll walk away from this episode changed.

Humanity, empathy, and respecting patient wishes are paramount when navigating the complexities of end-of-life care. In this episode of Straight Outta Health IT, Gil Bashe, Chair of Global Health and Purpose for FINN Partners, delves into these sensitive topics. Drawing from his unique background as a combat medic, ordained clergy member, and health innovation advocate, Gil discusses the crucial, yet often misunderstood, differences between palliative care, hospice care, and end-of-life planning. He clarifies that palliative care focuses on improving comfort and quality of life at any point during a serious illness, potentially alongside curative treatments. Hospice care, conversely, is typically reserved for the final stages, Gil explains, when the focus shifts entirely to comfort and dignity, often requiring additional medical support but tailored to the individual's needs and choices. Host Christopher Kunney shares poignant family experiences, grounding the conversation in real-life challenges. Together, they explore the emotional difficulties faced by patients, families, and even clinicians in initiating these necessary conversations and making decisions, highlighting the discomfort many doctors feel. Gil also strongly emphasizes the enduring importance of human connection, intuition, and empathy over purely technological solutions, urging listeners to prepare emotionally and spiritually, perhaps even through letters, alongside legal documents like living wills. Tune in and learn why understanding these distinctions and respecting a patient's final wishes are essential aspects of compassionate care!

William Dombi has been too busy working on home care advocacy to relax during his retirement from the National Alliance for Care at Home, he told McKnight's Home Care in a Newsmakers podcast. Besides working for the law firm Arnall Golden Gregory, he is the board of advisers for New Day Healthcare. With the federal administration honing in on fraud, waste and abuse, Medicaid and hospice are in the crosshairs. The field has been in such a predicament before. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 brought about a new payment model for home health. Then the Affordable Care Act resulted in the rebasing of home health payment rates, which hurt the industry. Hospice could see a similar rebasing of rates. The new generation of hospice also could see the introduction of Medicare Advantage to hospice. And there may be an expansion of palliative care as well. While there are concerns, there are opportunities in home care as well. There needs to be more education to teach home care about getting involved with hospital-at-home programs and other innovative approaches to care, he said.Follow us on social media:X: @McKHomeCareFacebook: McKnight's Home CareLinkedIn: McKnight's Home CareInstagram: mcknights_homecareFollow Arnall Golden Gregory on social media:X: @agglawLinkedIn: Arnall Golden Gregory LLPShow contributors:McKnight's Home Care Editor Liza Berger; William Dombi, senior counsel, Arnall Golden Gregory

A publicist has a tough job they are responsible for promoting a product, person, event or organization and getting them placed in media outlets.

Dr. Galati is back in studio tonight and has his sister Celeste join the show on this Mother's Day. As a nurse she talks about hospice care and the timing. They also talk about their mom, the food, the cooking, and being a health teacher.

#606: Hospice nurse and end-of-life educator Suzanne O'Brien joins us to discuss the financial realities of dying in America — and they might surprise you. Remember Aretha Franklin? Her handwritten will was found in her couch cushions after she passed away. Despite her substantial wealth, this simple document was legally upheld. It's a powerful reminder that having any form of will is better than none at all. But there's more to worry about than just having a will or trust. The costs of aging and dying can add up fast. Long-term care costs can quickly deplete even substantial savings. Suzanne shares a story about a couple with over $5 million who were shocked to learn how quickly 24/7 care for dementia would consume their nest egg. Traditional funerals average between $7,000-$11,000, but there are much more affordable alternatives: Home wakes and natural burials can cost just a few hundred dollars Water cremation offers an environmentally friendly option Whole body donation to medical institutions costs nothing while contributing to education Planning ahead gives you control over these decisions and spares your loved ones additional stress. Multi-generational living arrangements can also reduce caregiving costs and address concerns like isolation and safety for aging family members. Suzanne also shares stories about the emotional side of dying. Did you know some people seem to choose when they go? She tells us about a 99-year-old woman in a coma who somehow held on for days until she turned 100, then passed away that very night.

What defines quality in end-of-life care?  How are hospice organizations navigating workforce challenges?  And why has medical aid in dying become such a critical conversation?  These questions take center stage in this data-driven exploration of April's most impactful Hospice and Palliative Care news stories.In this episode of TCNtalks, Chris Comeaux and Cordt Kassner discuss the top news stories from April, focusing on hospice and palliative care.  They explore personal aspirations, data insights, the impact of spiritual care, emerging categories in news reporting, and key themes such as reimbursement and workforce challenges. The conversation also touches on mission moments, regulatory changes, technology innovations, and the evolving nature of leadership in healthcare, particularly in the context of AI and human skills. The conversation also explores the increasing demand for senior living and the legislative changes impacting hospice care, including the ban on for-profit hospices in New York and the introduction of psilocybin access in New Mexico.  Cordt closes the show with a Master's Class reviewing the National Hospice Locator, a valuable tool for finding high-quality hospice care anywhere in the country.  Join us.Guest: Cordt Kassner, PhD, Publisher of Hospice & Palliative Care Today & CEO and Founder of Hospice AnalyticsHost:  Chris Comeaux, President / CEO of TeleiosTeleios Collaborative Network / https://www.teleioscn.org/tcntalkspodcast

A good death should be a right not a privilege — Do you agree? Listen to this week's podcast to learn about how our incarcerated population dies behind bars. The Humane Prison Hospice Project provides training to incarcerated individuals, empowering them to support their peers by building on the knowledge many already possess and fostering a sense of purpose for both those offering care and those receiving it. I found that learning about this program and the people that it serves opened a whole different door for me on considering death and dying. I think you'll find this to be an episode that stays with you, long after the closing music fades.https://humaneprisonhospiceproject.org/https://www.facebook.com/humaneprisonhospiceprojectcahttps://www.instagram.com/humaneprisonhospiceproject

Let's face it—most of us would rather do anything than talk about death. But avoiding the conversation doesn't make it go away—it just leaves your loved ones drowning in decisions, grief, and sometimes financial chaos. In this episode of Everyone's Talkin' Money, I sit down with Dr. Kimberly Harms, a grief counselor, death doula, mediator, author, and former national spokesperson for the American Dental Association, who has lived through more loss and reinvention than most of us can imagine. From losing her son to suicide, her husband to a broken heart, and her career to injury, Kim rebuilt her life by embracing the hardest conversations—and now she teaches others how to prepare emotionally and financially for the inevitable. We talk about: Why open conversations about death and money reduce family conflict and emotional trauma The importance of legacy planning, estate organization, and writing a “love letter” binder Common financial regrets people share at the end of life—and how to avoid them What every member of the sandwich generation needs to know about long-term care and expectations How to talk to your kids (and grandkids! and parents!) about death without fear or shame Why grief + money = explosive—and how to avoid drama by planning ahead The surprising role of hospice, and why dying on your terms can be the greatest gift you give Kim's wisdom will leave you inspired to tackle your own plans, have those long-overdue conversations, and rethink what a “wealthy” life really means. You're going to walk away knowing: Financial planning is crucial for emotional preparedness in end-of-life scenarios. Hospice care focuses on comfort rather than prolonging life. Many families experience conflict after a death due to lack of communication. Leaving a legacy of love is the most important aspect of life. Planning for retirement and end-of-life care can alleviate burdens on family members. Kim encourages writing love letters to family members as a lasting legacy. Conversations about death should be normalized to reduce fear and discomfort. Joy and resilience are essential themes in navigating life's challenges. If you just want to make life easier for your loved one, or yourself - this is your must-listen episode.
