ShownotesWhen we lose a loved one, it is often thought of as the end of their life and, therefore, the end of them being present in our lives. The pain and suffering that come along with the grief and sorrow tend to make us feel as though they are gone forever. But what if we changed the way we look at death? What if we take a different perspective by looking at it as a new beginning rather than the end? After all, if we truly believe death does not get the final word, we must maintain hope that in dying, our loved ones will be restored to their glory in Heaven, right?Our GuestSr. Maria of the Trinity was born in Oklahoma and grew up in Minnesota. Blessed with a wonderful Catholic family, she responded to God's call to consecrated life. She has degrees in Philosophy from the University of Dallas, Nursing from the University of San Francisco, and Hospice and Palliative Care from the University of Paris. Responding to a call within her call 12 years ago, she began the Gospel of Life Dwellings in Oklahoma and Texas to care for those in need at the end of their life. Now, as an emerging Franciscan ecclesial family, the Gospel of Life Disciples are beginning dwellings in Georgia and Guatemala. The members seek a deep prayer life and live the corporal and spiritual works of mercy with the elderly and terminally ill on their journey home to God.Links from the show A Birth Unto Hope: Reflections on the Gospel of Life at Death The nun who left France to create special homes for the elderly poor in the U.S. Gospel of Life Dwellings (GOLD) Intensive Caring: A Practical Handbook for Catholics about Serious Illness and End-of-Life Care by Natalie King, MDScripture The Gospel of the Good Shepherd, Matthew 18:12 Deuteronomy 26:55Prayer for :The deceased residents of G.O.L.D. and Brett**Since the recording of this episode, Brett has since passed.

SHOW NOTES: In Podcast Episode 309, “EOL (Expansion of Life) Care,” Kim discusses the difference between EOL (End of Life) for unbelievers versus EOL (Expansion of Life) in the life of followers of Christ. May this last story from the life of Elijah encourage you and, through you, encourage others. Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 2:1-12 with 11-12 as the focal verses: “As they were walking along and talking, suddenly a chariot of fire appeared, drawn by horses of fire. It drove between the two men, separating them, and Elijah was carried by a whirlwind into heaven. Elisha saw it and cried out, “My father! My father! I see the chariots and charioteers of Israel!” And as they disappeared from sight, Elisha tore his clothes in distress.” WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE: How has this reframing of “EOL” changed your outlook?

Today, Casey Stumpf, a NAMS certified nurse practitioner and dietitian, shares her journey into the world of hormonal health, particularly focusing on menopause and hormone replacement therapy. She discusses the misconceptions surrounding hormone therapy, the importance of understanding hormonal changes in women, and the benefits of testosterone therapy. Casey emphasizes the need for specialized care in managing menopause symptoms and the significance of early intervention with hormone therapy. The conversation also touches on the interconnectedness of diet, exercise, and hormonal balance, providing listeners with actionable insights to improve their health and well-being. As both a registered dietitian and a nurse practitioner, Casey offers a unique, integrative approach to healthcare that combines her expertise in nutrition with advanced clinical knowledge, allowing her to provide personalized care that addresses both the body and mind. Over the past 20 years, she's had the privilege of working in diverse healthcare settings, from the Emergency Department and Family Practice to End-of-Life Care. Her time as an end-of-life provider was especially formative, as it highlighted the critical importance of being proactive in our health and wellness long before we face serious illness or decline. It became clear to her how essential it is to prevent a "bad death" by investing in our health now—making the right choices, optimizing our well-being, and extending our healthspan, rather than merely focusing on lifespan. Her background as a dietitian has also given her a deep understanding of the powerful role nutrition plays in long-term health. She is passionate about helping her patients achieve sustainable weight loss, focusing on life-sustaining, nutrient-dense approaches rather than quick fixes or restrictive diets. This emphasis on balanced, mindful eating not only supports healthy weight management but also promotes overall vitality and helps to balance hormones, especially during life stages like menopause. Driven by her desire to help women live their best lives at every stage, she has pursued advanced education in menopause care, earning her Menopause Society Certification. This allows her to offer targeted care that integrates bioidentical hormone therapy with nutrition and lifestyle changes to help women navigate hormonal shifts, reclaim their energy, and feel their best. Ultimately, her goal is to bring her patients' spark back—to optimize their health, support their weight goals in a sustainable way, and empower them to live a vibrant, fulfilling life. She believes that true wellness is about being proactive today to prevent illness tomorrow, and she is dedicated to guiding her patients on this path every step of the way.

How prepared are you to support a loved one at the end of life? This is a question many avoid but is crucial for everyone to consider. In the Good Death Seminar Series, we equip you with the knowledge and confidence to navigate the journey of end-of-life care. We begin by sharing personal stories that illustrate the transformative power of being educated and empowered in this role. Together, we'll explore the history and purpose of hospice care, the impact of Medicare, and critical questions you should ask when selecting a hospice provider. Our goal is to make a meaningful difference, even if it helps just one person find peace and positivity in challenging times. As we continue, we confront the challenges posed by the rising number of for-profit hospices, questioning how profit-driven motives might affect the quality of care. Through poignant narratives like Mr. Penn's, we expose systemic gaps and the urgent need for patient-centered care. By reflecting on the invaluable contributions of hospice workers, we advocate for a renewed focus on collaboration to ensure dignified and supportive end-of-life experiences. With discussions on pain management, advanced directive documents, and the essential role families play, we aim to empower you with the tools needed for informed decision-making. Finally, we underscore the importance of seeing death not just as a medical event but as a profound human experience. Inspired by the wisdom of Cicely Saunders, we discuss how education, kindness, and support can restore the sacredness of both life and death. You'll discover resources like the Good Death, Good Life Masterclass and the Confident Caregiver Course, designed to equip you with essential skills for compassionate care. By preparing for the end of life, we not only enhance our daily experiences and relationships but also empower ourselves to live fully and without regrets.

What happens when we embrace the reality of death instead of fearing it? Join me, Suzanne O'Brien, founder of the International Doula Givers Institute, on the Ask a Death Doula podcast as we embark on a transformative journey through the complex world of end-of-life care with The Good Death Seminar Series. This episode promises to challenge your perceptions, with stories from my hospice experiences and insights from historical perspectives that confront our deep-seated fear of death. Together, we'll explore how aligning our intentions with compassion can redefine our understanding of what it truly means to experience a 'good death.' Throughout our engaging Good Death Seminar Series, we delve into the intricacies of end-of-life care within the current medical system, questioning if we've forgotten that death is a natural part of life. Through personal anecdotes, from patients like Vivian to families navigating the difficult medical landscape, we highlight the necessity of a purpose-driven approach. We'll discuss the lost art of dying, dissecting cultural and language barriers that obscure the reality of mortality and urging for a return to empathy and understanding. Our journey doesn't stop there. We address the commercialization of death and the urgency of respecting individual end-of-life wishes. By sharing poignant stories, like that of oncology patient Maureen, we examine how a supportive and informed environment can empower people facing the end of life. With a focus on compassion and personal responsibility, we explore how each of us, with the right education and support, can foster a world where everyone has the opportunity to experience a good death. Join us as we embrace the sacredness of death and its reflection on life, paving the way for a compassionate future.

As co-founder of Empowered Endings, Dr. Bob Uslander, is working to shift the paradigm of End of Life Care by supporting, guiding, and teaching an empowered approach to Palliative and End of Life Care. He became aware of the gaps in hospice and palliative care that cause patients to struggle. The deaths of his parents and a dear friend provided a personal perspective into caregiving that formed Bob's determination to meet the needs of people with serious illness in a better way. Empowered Endings supports both patients and families through the final stages of life. Bob, his wife Medical Social Worker Elizabeth, and the Empowered Endings team ensure each person feels heard, held, and whole throughout the end of life journey.

Welcome back to The Peds NP Acute Care Faculty series! This collaborative series was created and peer-reviewed by national experts and leaders in acute care PNP education. In the push for competency-based education where faculty verify the skills of what a learner can do, rather than their knowledge, our series focuses on the application of didactic content with a practical approach in a conversational way so that you can learn the nuances of clinical skills before you reach the bedside. This episode discusses a standardized approach to delivering bad news, founded in the literature. The SPIKES protocol is the most well recognized approach to create an environment, assess patient and family knowledge and preferences, deliver the news compassionately, and empathize prior to a summary. With examples of phrasing you can offer at each step, you'll gain the skills necessary to deliver bad news.

Welcome to The Peds NP Acute Care Faculty series! This collaborative series was created and peer-reviewed by national experts and leaders in acute care PNP education to meet the needs of our current and future colleagues. In the push for competency-based education where faculty verify the skills of what a student can do, rather than their knowledge, our series focuses on the application of didactic content with a practical approach so that you can learn nuances of clinical skills before you reach the bedside. This episode applies the concepts from the prior episode on “Delivering Bad News” (S11 Ep. 71) to a few examples where HIV status was disclosed to a pediatric patient. After reflection and discussion of a few ethical principles important to consent/assent, it's time to practice delivering bad news in a case study. An unfolding case poses questions to get you thinking about what you might say. Make it interactive by pausing your podcast and answer the question yourself. The case walks you step-by-step through the process of delivering bad news to a child and their family using the SPIKES protocol. There's no perfect answer, but this example helps to prepare you for competency-based learning, so that you're ready to deliver bad news in practice.
