Podcast appearances and mentions of katie ortlip

Our dear friends Jahnna Beecham and Katie Ortlip join us for today’s Connection Moment.  They’re the co-authors of Living with Dying: A Complete Guide for Caregivers.  It’s our all-time favorite caregiving guidebook!  Katie, a hospice social worker, validates the emotions hospice professionals might be feeling.  It’s ok to be fearful and to grieve - we’re all going through this together.  It’s important to remember that we’re useful and important; we just have to find different ways to take care of our patients.  Katie suggests checking out the resources the Upaya Zen Center has to offer, and the work of Roshi Joan Hallifax.  Jahnna’s hospice journey includes caring for both of her parents, so she knows the stressors that come from isolation and grieving a loss.  She shares how the grief of the pandemic seems to be a shared emotion.  It’s a good time to take stock and look inward to determine what’s important to us.  You can find Katie and Jahnna’s book about caregiving at livingwithdying.com.  It’s a fantastic resource for anyone who is a personal caregiver for a loved one.  There are more resources for you at theheartofhospice.com.  We love hearing from you, so send an email to host@theheartofhospice for a personal response from Helen and Jerry.  You’re not alone in your hospice journey.  You are The Heart of Hospice.

Welcome back to National Social Worker Month.  This week we continue our discussion with social worker Katie Ortlip as the discussion turns to long term care placement.  At times a patient may need more care than what can be provided in a private home setting.  When that occurs, the social worker may need to provide help in finding a different living environment.  In this episode, Katie explains some of the reasons why a patient may need long term placement, and the options that are available.

This episode features 'Living with Dying a caregivers guide' with Jahnna Beecham and Katie Ortlip. I had an opportunity to chat with these two amazing women When I was asked to consider doing a Dragonfly Radio interview with them from DMPR, I did some research on the book. Jahnna Beecham and Katie Ortlip wrote a book "Death for Dummies" which I loved. I asked myself where was this book 10 years ago? when I was watching my own parents pass away. It has been made reference as "Death for Dummies". An excellent caregivers manual from start to finish. I would suggest this book to any caregiver, or individual whom may be at end-of-life planning. Thank You Jahnna & Katie.

Jahnna Beecham and Katie Ortlip were friends and neighbors who sometimes had interesting conversations about Katie's work in hospice. She'd sometimes come home talking about a good death she'd experienced that day. The conversation became much more real for Jahhna when her 90 year old father was given a short time to live and she took on his care. Suddenly, she needed every bit of knowledge her friend Katie could share with her. As time went on, she realized she was not alone in needing this vital information and, as a writer, began planning a book, a collaboration with Katie, to give other people a head start when they faced caring for a dying loved one. Their book, Living With Dying, is the result.
