Podcasts about living with dying

Hospice care in the United States is largely defined and shaped by health insurers and Medicare. The Center for Conscious Living and Dying, set to open this spring, is a new nonprofit in Swannanoa driven to reposition hospice as a communal passage. Host Matt Peiken talks with Dr. Aditi Sethi, the center's founding director; and Hannah Fowler, a registered nurse and the center's director of education. We talk about their vision of the fusion of life and death and how, through the center, they're hoping to change the end-of-life dynamic.Fowler and Sethi also reference "The Last Ecstatic Days," a documentary film out soon about the communal hospice care supporting the final days of the film's subject, Ethan Sisser.  Details about the film are at thelastecstaticdaysmovie.com.Support The Overlook by joining our Patreon campaign!Advertise your event on The Overlook.Instagram: AVLoverlook | Facebook: AVLoverlook | Twitter: AVLoverlookListen and Subscribe: All episodes of The OverlookThe Overlook theme song, "Maker's Song," comes courtesy of the Asheville band The Resonant Rogues.Podcast Asheville © 2023

On Valentine's Day 2020, Peter Fodera's heart broke. It stopped working. He collapsed in the middle of teaching a dance class. Someone performed CPR, someone called an ambulance. EMT's showed up and he lay motionless. Many people in the class thought they had just witnessed the death of their favorite teacher. But later at the hospital, Peter's heart started beating again. On the anniversary of Peter's brush with death, he sat down with his daughter Juliana who has Noonan Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder. While Peter's experience may seem miraculous to some of us, it doesn't to Juliana. By her count, she's died 21 times. **** Music this week from Podington Bear, Blue Dot Sessions, Man Man, and Gotan Project.

One year ago, on Valentine’s Day 2020, Peter Fodera’s heart broke. It stopped working. He collapsed in the middle of teaching a dance class. Someone performed CPR, someone called an ambulance. EMT’s showed up and he lay motionless. He technically died that day. But later at the hospital, Peter’s heart started beating again. On the anniversary of Peter’s brief death, he sat down with his daughter Juliana who has Noonan Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder. While Peter’s experience of dying and coming back to life may seem miraculous to some of us, it doesn’t to Juliana. By her count, she’s died 21 times.

We seem to avoid thinking about mortality, or talking about loss, but it is an unavoidable fact that we all face the loss of a loved one, and will each confront that truth in different ways. If grief is unavoidable, what is the best way to make peace with it? Part Two of Living With Dying features Sheree Fitch in conversation with Neil Wilson, and Lorna Crozier in conversation with CBC's Sandra Abma. In the wake of her son's unexpected death, author and storyteller Sheree Fitch wrote it all down, penning an honest, lyrical memoir with words to stir heart. You Won't Always Be This Sad invites readers on a journey through grief towards hope, guided by the immeasurable depths of a mother's love. Told with unflinching honesty and fierce tenderness, Through the Garden by Lorna Crozier is a deeply affecting portrait of a long partnership and a clear-eyed account of the impact of a serious illness, writing as consolation, and the enduring significance of poetry. When Lorna Crozier and Patrick Lane met at a poetry workshop in 1976, they had no idea that they would go on to write more than forty books between them, balancing their careers with their devotion to each other, and to their beloved cats, for decades. Then, in January 2017, their life together changed unexpectedly when Patrick became seriously ill. At once a spirited account of the past and a poignant reckoning with the present, it is, above all, an extraordinary and unforgettable love story.

If grief is unavoidable, what is the best way to make peace with it? Part One of Living With Dying features Dakshana Bascaramurty in conversation with CBC's Idill Mussa, and Anita Lahey in conversation with Ellen Chang-Richardson. This is Not the End of Me by Dakshana Bascaramurty is the moving, inspiring story of a young husband and father who, when diagnosed with terminal cancer at the age of thirty-three, sets out to build a legacy for his infant son. Layton Reid was a globe-trotting, risk-taking, sunshine-addicted bachelor--then came a melanoma diagnosis. Cancer startled him out of his arrested development--he returned home to Halifax to work as a wedding photographer--and remission launched him into a new, passionate life as a husband and father-to-be. When the melanoma returned, now at Stage IV, Layton and his family put all their stock into a punishing alternative therapy, hoping for a cure. This Is Not the End of Me recounts Layton's three-year journey as he tried desperately to stay alive for his young son, Finn, and then found purpose in preparing Finn for a world without him. Equal parts humorous and heartbreaking, The Last Goldfish by Anita Lahey is a poignant memoir of youth, friendship, and the impermanence of life. Anita and Louisa, instant friends in grade nine, navigate the wilds of 1980s suburban adolescence against the backdrop of dramatic world events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall. They make carpe diem their manifesto and hatch ambitious plans. But when Louisa's life takes a shocking turn, into hospital wards, medical tests, and treatments, a new possibility confronts them, one that alters, with devastating finality, the prospect of the future for them both.

If you know you have only months or weeks to live, how do you make the most of whatever time is left? Julie McCrossin talks with palliative care specialist Dr Megan Best about facing end of life and answering the big questions. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

Living with Dying

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.

Welcome to the podcast! Today I’m very excited to be joined by Katie Ortlip, RN LCSW & Jahnna Beecham, authors of the book “Living with Dying:  A Complete Guide for Caregivers.”   At this moment in the U.S., nearly 10 million people over the age of 50 are caregivers for a parent or loved one. They are often overwhelmed trying to handle health emergencies, confusing legal matters, and prepare for the worst, while trying to live their own lives.   Given there wasn’t a guidebook for death, Katie always wanted to write a sort of “Death for Dummies,” because it was sorely needed by her patients and their families. Being a writer, Jahnna said, “Let’s do it together.” It was at this time that Jahnna’s 90-year-old father was told his long-dormant prostate cancer had spread to his bones. She became his caregiver; Katie became his hospice social worker; and their writing journey began.  Katie Ortlip is a Hospice Expert on SHARECARE, Dr. Ahmet Oz’s online health and wellness platform that provides consumers with expert information to help them lead healthier lives. She is also the co-author of Spiritual Tools for the Dying, a booklet distributed by Asante Health Care of Oregon to patients on hospice.   She received her nursing degree from Santa Barbara City College in 1982 and then spent three years working in neonatology at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital in New York City and Mary Dartmouth-Hitchcock Hospital in Hanover, New Hampshire.   Jahnna Beecham most recently edited National Geographic’s Science Encyclopedia, which was released in the fall of 2016; and was a contributing editor for National Geographic’s The Ultimate Explorer Field Guide: Birds.   For the past 15 years she has been a contributing writer and editor for Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader—both the adult books and For Kids Only. Under the pen name Jahnna N. Malcolm, Jahnna Beecham and Malcolm Hillgartner have written more than 130 books for juveniles and young adults for Scholastic, Simon & Schuster, Random House, HarperCollins, Bantam and others.  Full show notes available at lourdesviado.com/womenindepth

Author Jahnna Beecham & nurse Katie Ortlip, LCSW began as friends and neighbors. However, when Jahnna’s 90-year-old father was told his prostate cancer had spread to his bones, Jahnna became his caregiver while Katie became his hospice social worker. Together, during this emotional time, they became even closer and shared insights on end-of-life care as well as how to have the best death possible, and their joint writing journey began.Their new book: LIVING WITH DYING: A Complete Guide for Caregivers is a comprehensive field guide for those caring for a loved one at the end of life. It is straight forward and easy-to-use, providing tangible, fact-driven advice for overwhelmed caregivers juggling full-time jobs and the their own lives.The book, which has been reviewed by oncologists, hospice doctors and nurses, instructs readers how to have the conversation about end of life wishes and concerns, and navigate the emotional and spiritual journey with their loved ones. It offers clear instructions for giving the best care possible including how to control pain, address symptoms, and understand the dying process.Katie Ortlip, nurse and hospice social worker, gives valuable information about the benefits of hospice and the myths that surround it, while Jahnna Beecham shares her often-humorous journey with her father.According to AARP, there are more than 40 million people in the U.S. who are unpaid caregivers. Most are un-trained volunteers doing the best they can to help a loved one in their final journey. Living With Dying is a road map that will help those 40 million navigate that sometimes bumpy, often confusing trip. Visit Katie and Jahnna and learn more about their work at www.LivingWithDying.com

A sermon from Rev. Dr. James Lamb, Executive director of Lutherans for Life. I preached this sermon for our observance of Life Sunday. The message is about how we as Christians "live with dying"--that is face our mortality with Christian hope and confidence, and how that guides our actions in relation to care for the elderly, ill, or disabled, as well as making decisions near the end of life.

Listen to Lupe, a hospice nurse, talk through the last few months of life and explain that comfort should be the number one priority.

This episode, host Kim Thiboldeaux and guests will discuss the difficult, but important topic of dying and offer information on ways to cope with end-of-life issues, as well as how to enrich a person's life up until the very end. Guests include Guy Papenhausen, former caregiver and participant at The Wellness Community of East Tennessee; and Sara Goldberger, LCSW-R, Senior Director of Programs at The Wellness Community.
