Highlights:  [6:55] Markers of a healthy soul [19:50] Preparing for death to live [31:33] Lessons from the dying   Meet Fred Grewe: Fred is a Board-Certified Chaplain (Association of Professional Chaplains) with a Doctor of Ministry degree from the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley and is an ordained Congregationalist minister working for Providence Hospice in Medford, Oregon.  His interest in working with the dying began in the early 1990's with the death of his best friend who succumbed to AIDS. Grewe has written two books “What the Dying have Taught Me about Living” (Pilgrim Press, 2014), “Time to talk about Dying” (Jessica Kingsley, 2018), and several peer reviewed articles on end-of-life existential distress. Fred is a mystery – even to himself.  He is an aging, bald, white man who believes God loves him very much and the power of this belief has helped transform a frightened, angry, little man into a more loving and considerate human being. What I love about Fred is that he is a bright beacon of love, of kindness, of meaningful conversation, and of a loving space being delivered to people in their most vulnerable time, in their final months, days, and moments before they die. Fred has journeyed with over 3000 people as they have shuffled off this mortal coil. And the lessons he's learned, and the wisdom he brings is anchored deeply in the importance of living intentionally now. There is perhaps nothing more fundamental to the human condition than the fact that we are all going to die. And perhaps the biggest gift of that fact is to live fully in the now. Fred calls this The dying well paradox: Contemplating my death compels me to live a fully engaged life now. And living a fully engaged life now is the best preparation for my death.  So, How do we engage this wisdom to actually impact our day-to-day existence? How can we all start living more intentionally now so that we get the most out of every moment that we have?''   Connect with Fred:  www.fredgrewe.com ...

Lisa Dunlap is a Geriatric NP that practices holistic and integrative medicine. A little over a year ago, while dealing with burnout from her job, she was having health issues that were finally diagnosed just as the COVID pandemic was ramping up. Finding out that she had an ovarian mass, and without the option for surgery at the time, she turned to her mindfulness practices, awareness, and self-care. When she was finally allowed to go to surgery, there was no sign of the mass and her stress was gone; she attributes this to her healing practices and efforts to manifest health. Lisa believes that we can't control what happens in the environment around us, but we can control how we think and be present in the moment. Through her nursing journey, Lisa was told by her teachers that she just needed to do her time and start on med/surg—they didn't think she would make it very far because she “believed in woo-woo stuff”. Her mindful self-care has not only helped to heal, but she is now helping others to heal as well. Tips for nurses: One deep breath can move us from SNS (fight or flight) to the PNS (more relaxed) state Hang in there and stay strong in yourself - no one can tell you different Encourage a practice of self-care throughout the day Links & Notes Self-Compassion Connections Purchase Compassion Connections Toolkit Join Lisa's Facebook Group Learn more about supporting the Don't Eat Your Young Podcast by joining us on Patreon!About Lisa DunlapLisa Dunlap Integrative ARNP, a Seattle native and mother of 2 small children, trained in adult geriatric primary care.

How do you talk to kids about death? Author Caroline Wright wondered the same thing when she was diagnosed with an aggressive, terminal brain cancer as a mother to her young sons. Now, having lived a year past her prognosis and written a children’s book to help children know the undying love of a parent, Caroline joined us at Town Hall with a mission to help other parents find hope and agency with similar diagnoses. Wright was joined by a panel of leading experts in the fields of children’s bereavement and cancer to discuss the complicated issue of what to say to our kids to comfort them when facing loss. They outlined strategies for talking about tragedy with children, and highlighted the importance of building community during times of loss. Wright offered us tools for helping our children navigate grief—tools which we can use to face tragedy in our own lives and overcome grief ourselves. Caroline Wright is a cook, author, and terminal brain cancer patient. After her diagnosis she focused her career on her two sons and the connection that comes from telling her story. She’s written three cookbooks and is the author of Lasting Love, her children’s book about the enduring love of a parent. Caroline lives in Seattle, Washington with her family. PANEL: Jim Cubbage is a co-founder, trip leader, and treasurer for Wild Grief, a non-profit that runs several programs to merge the healing power of nature and peer grief support. He facilitated grief support groups for Sound Care Kids through Providence Hospice for 11 years. Dr. Lamont Green DSW, LSWAIC is currently the Lead Youth and Young Adult Homelessness Planner for King County. Green has worked for the past seventeen years to serve homeless youth within the region, and is deeply invested in his belief for social change. Heidi Howard, MA, LMHC, CDP is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who has been in the mental health field for almost 30 years working with adolescents and families.
