Podcasts about life limiting illness

On tonight's Psychological Matters, we're focusing on a topic that touches many families—supporting someone with a loved one who has dementia. Caring for a person with dementia can be emotionally and physically challenging, not just for the patient but also for their family and friends. Tonight, we'll discuss practical ways to offer support, from understanding the condition to offering help with day-to-day tasks and providing emotional comfort. Whether you're directly affected or want to help someone who is, this conversation is vital. Joining us for conversation is Sean O'Connor, who is a mid-life and death coach, end-of-life companion, and soul carer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Sammy Winemaker is starting a social healthcare revolution with The Waiting Room Revolution podcast.  On The Waiting Room Revolution podcast, Sammy is having insightful conversations about palliative care, advance care planning, and change-making for end-of-life care with co-host Dr. Hsien Seow.  Sammy is an Associate Clinical Professor, Department of Family Medicine, in the Division of Palliative Care at McMaster University. She teaches palliative care to healthcare professionals.  Here's what The Waiting Room Revolution website says about their mission:  They started the Waiting Room Revolution movement because they wanted to improve the patient and family illness experience.

Through interviews with experts, clinicians, patients, and caregivers, they are harnessing the advice of those with lived experience to better prepare those who are just starting their caring journey. They cannot do it alone. Individuals, families, and communities have to be empowered as the catalyst for change.

Narzisstisch – oder ein anderes Wort dafür: selbstverliebt. Tatsächlich verbirgt sich hinter dem Begriff jedoch noch viel mehr. Wusstet ihr, dass der Narzissmus eine diagnostizierbare Persönlichkeitsstörung ist? Sie führt dazu, dass die Betroffenen ein überhöhtes Selbstbild haben und die eigenen Bedürfnisse und Wünsche über das Wohl von anderen stellen. Aber was ist ein Narzisst? Um Narzissmus eindeutig zu identifizieren, braucht es eigentlich einen Psychologin oder eine Psychologen. Diese gehen dann eine Liste (die sogenannte DSM-5) mit bestimmten klinischen Kriterien durch und in dieser Episode erfahrt ihr, was diese sind und noch vieles mehr.

This episode features Jennifer Baxley Lee (Ulster University, Institute of Nursing and Health Sciences Research, Northern Ireland, UK University of Florida, Center for Arts in Medicine, College of the Arts, Florida, USA). An expanding body of evidence demonstrates the positive impacts of the arts on health and well-being. No synthesis currently exists presenting evidence on arts interventions facilitated by artists as distinct from creative arts therapists with individuals with life-limiting illness. This paper presents the first systematic synthesis of the benefits, challenges and key knowledge gaps in arts engagement delivered by artists in palliative and end-of-life care. Findings substantiate beneficial effects of the arts in palliative care, including: 1) a sense of well-being, 2) a newly discovered, or re-framed, sense of self, and 3) connection with others. Challenges associated with practice include navigating the complexity of facilitating arts engagement with individuals with life-limiting illness such as feelings of vulnerability, stigma, anxiety, or fatigue provoked by arts engagement. Recommendations for future research include: 1) consistency in methods and reporting; 2) inclusion of wider perspectives; and 3) key considerations for adapting the arts by health condition and art form to address complexity of arts engagement in palliative care. This review is a step toward aggregating existing evidence to advance knowledge regarding the full potential of arts engagement and to make the arts more widely available to patients in palliative and end-of-life care.

Judy wrote Spirit Matters: How to Remain Fully Alive with a Life-Limiting Illness, published by Tate Publishing & Enterprises, to pass on what she learned.

Good Grief: The A to Z Approach of Modern Day Grief Healing by Shelley F. Knight, which came out September 24th 2021, is an inspiring companion for your journey through grief. [for Facebook only] Listen on your favorite podcast app, at youtube.com/radiatewellness, or at radiatewellnesscommunity.com/podcast. Grief is closely associated with death but can be triggered when we lose anything with which we have an emotional connection: a job, a relationship, health. Much that can be read about the grieving process is outdated and can serve an injustice to our rapidly evolving, modern society. In conjunction with recent medical and societal advancements, new and complex presentations of grief have arisen. As a result, our own journey through grief must also evolve in order for us to effectively heal and even flourish as a result of our experiences surrounding loss. Delivering an eclectic blend of medical and spiritual observations and teachings, Good Grief: The A to Z Approach of Modern Day Grief Healing addresses life as well as death and provides a practical guidebook for your unique grief journey. It goes beyond the conventional views that we are just a physical body, aiming to enlighten and encourage the reader to use the tools within the pages to bring about a collateral beauty that reveals great strength, personal growth, and spiritual emergence. Good Grief: The A to Z Approach of Modern Day Grief Healing is available from www.o-books.com and wherever books are sold. Shelley F.

I had the pleasure of sitting with Shelley F. Knight from the UK. We discussed following her dream to become a nurse and mother. We talk about her travels before she started her nursing journey and how it settled her before she started her longer nursing journey. Her journey to become a nurse took some interesting twists; however, her journey to become a mother was more difficult. We talk about life and death. Healing and saying goodbye to the ones we love. Left nursing as she was worried that the toxicity that she was always around was harming her chances to conceive. We talk about how you have to keep going if you really want something, no matter how tough it might be. We talk about what moved her into pursuing her spiritual journey and embracing tarot as a daily. How she went from nursing to becoming an Author and podcaster. Also, teaching her kids to embrace their spirituality.  ******** National Suicide Prevention Lifeline Hours: Available 24 hours. Languages: English, Spanish. 800-273-8255 ********* Shelley F.

Listen to this captivating storytelling episode where we learn how meeting a ‘sangoma’ following a job loss led to sharing insight into this week’s guest’s life path ahead.

What is your one defining moment in your life so far?

Do you feel like you fit in with society’s norms? Is your career choice really your choice or did you feel pressured to take that path?

Is there someone in your life you need to forgive so that you can truly move forward in life?

Do you wake up feeling the same stuff, just a different day, and do not know how to break the cycle?

What we can learn about life and our choices from the spiritual realms?

Are you feeling overwhelmed and do not know if there are better days ahead?

The marvel that is modern Intensive Care has the capacity to save lives, and help survivors live long and satisfying lives.  But it comes at a cost, both in terms of patient experience and cost. Anecdotally, the number of patients with life-limiting illnesses are being referred for management in the ICU.  This trend has given some clinicians pause to consider whether traditional ICU is the best place for their care. Dr Matt Maiden led a team who studied the incidence of life limiting illness in ICU patients, and he joins Todd on the podcast to discuss the results and their implications.

Hello there, beautiful. Welcome to the trailer for season three of Positive changes a self kick podcast. I'm your host Shelley F night and I'm author of positive changes, a self-kick book and good grief. The A to Z approach of modern day grief healing, which is out in September, 2021. Can you believe the show is one year old? It started back in March, 2020, just me a microphone and my book positive changes, a self kick book. We're just a few episodes in when you beautiful listeners reached out and wanted to come and share your own stories of positive change and the tools you use to do so. We then had season two of 50 inspirational stories of positive change, and season three will be just as inspiring. In season three, I have cried over a story of suicide. "If you are someone who has lost someone to suicide, please know that it had nothing to do with you. And it's not about you. There wasn't anything that you could have done to rescue them. It's poorly, entirely upon them finding that moment of bravery in the most dire of situations, and part of letting them live in peace in the afterlife would be to live in peace in gold." I also ask so many questions about mediumship and the afterlife. "There is an afterlife. Now that sounds really kind of funny. You're silly, but there are people who that I've encountered that go. Well, I don't know if there's an afterlife. So that is probably the number one lesson that those in spirit want grieving, loved ones to know I'm I'm here, I'm in a different, um, level of consciousness, but I'm absolutely fine. And I'm still right there with you." I absolutely loved the resilience, as I learned about the ongoing mental health issues and the positive changes. "You know, every few months I had a recurrence of the lowest point in my life and I could feel it coming like, you know, I'd have the deepest, darkest two months of my life where I'm thinking about ending my own life every day, I'm completely reclusive and shut in. And then I go into a period of mania and I'm like, I'm out of it. This is great. And then I feel that rumble like, Oh, now I'm about to have the worst two months of my life. Again. And it happened like that in cycles for a decade. So it's difficult to tell somebody, like when they ask what was the hardest part, I'm like the hardest part was every two months, for 10 years, it like kept happening like Groundhog day." A story of forgiveness showed so much gentleness. "We all come into this world as the pure beings and then. Something happens to us with the experiences that we have in our life and the pain. And we mess up our lives so much. Like it is so easy to do for some reason, nobody just has a perfect life. We all make so many mistakes and it's about forgiving yourself and letting go from the state." And, Oh, my goddess, I have lost so much with a story, spiritual growth. "Uh, like we went to a country park and there'd been like a squirrel there and just feeling like a connection and all the other kids were like, just play in and like not in a Zane with the squirrel." In season three, we have even more inspirational stories to share. We're going to be looking at anxiety, marital affairs, overcoming alcoholism, sexual abuse, domestic violence. Career changes, grief, suicide, spiritual awakening, body image, adoption, poverty, abandonment self-worth, sexuality, visual impairment, and depression.
