Death educator Lee Warren believes preparing for death in advance makes a good death possible.

Over a period of two years, she experienced several deaths in her small community of 125 people, teaching her the best lessons about death as she cared for them.

Those deaths, and the generous people who experienced them, offered an incredible opportunity for Lee to reweave a more holistic approach to end-of-life than the one generally offered to us in the U.S. The outcome of stewarding those deaths together as a community, including after-death care, home funerals, and home burials, was life changing and heart opening for Lee. She has channeled the wisdom she learned into work as a Death Educator and End-of-Life Preparation Guide.

Serious illness and caregiving can be isolating. GrandPad’s AI technology keeps seniors safely connected to loved ones. Isaac Lien and his dad Scott co-founded GrandPad to meet the needs they saw in Scott’s mom. Their new AI app Grandie offers audio interaction for the user without requiring a certain format, and even learns the user’s voice and way of speaking. Because GrandPad’s network is private and encrypted, users can share photos or videos and make video calls without worrying about robocalls or spam. No one can be part of a user’s network unless they’re been invited by the family administrator.

GrandPad makes a fantastic holiday gift for older adults, especially those living at a distance from family. Its features include:

• phone calls • video calls • video sharing • internet browning • 911 emergency use • 4G LTE data plan

Watch a webinar to hear more about GrandPad’s features here.

Virginia Marcolin’s background in fashion and textiles led her to start designing burial shrouds, experimenting with luxurious natural fabrics and vegetable dyes. The result was Sanctum, a brand of high-end scented burial shrouds for the natural funeral industry. Virginia sources a variety of high-quality organic fabrics which are soft to the touch and biodegradable. Fabrics are colored with non-toxic plant dyes and infused with a proprietary plant-based antibacterial formula, which inhibits germ growth and neutralizes malodor.

The result for families is a comforting, beautiful, aromatic cocoon wrapped around their loved one which will carry them to their final resting place. Shrouds can be part of family-guided death care, green funerals, or human composting. A shroud can even be part of a cremation. According to the Sanctum website, their mission is to enhance the sensory experience of alternative funerals for loved ones while eliminating toxins and pollutants from traditional burial practices.

You can find the full selection of these Earth-friendly, elegant shrouds at sanctumshrouds.com.

Residential hospice homes provide compassionate caregiving support for the dying. My guest Susan Hearn is talking about how she is moved and motivated by her work as executive director of a hospice home, and why she stays in this industry.

Susan has a passion for serving hospice and palliative care patients and families and has been a pioneer in developing hospice programs throughout Oregon since 1993 when she helped to establish the Asante Hospice in Southern Oregon. Susan went on to pioneer a residential hospice model in Oregon, leading the way with both fundraising and the full building and policy development of Celia's House in Medford, Oregon and Hopewell House in Portland. She is motivated to give patients and their caregivers a greater voice in their end-of-life experience and in facilitating meaningful advanced care planning conversations between patients and families.

Award-winning producer, director, and writer Johanna Lunn has contributed to many profoundly thought-provoking programs during her 35 years in filmmaking. In addition to film festival awards, her work has received eight Canadian Screen Award nominations and won three. Her work has been shown around the world.

Rosanne Corcoran, host of Daughter the Podcast is sharing her best advice about being a caregiver for a person dealing with dementia. As caregiver to her mother for 12 years, Rosanne learned how to navigate the healthcare system as an advocate, deal with sleep deprivation, and to care for herself along the way.

Rosanne Corcoran is the creator and host of Daughterhood the Podcast. She is also a Daughterhood Circle leader and their Director of Content. She cared for her mother through her journey with vascular dementia, starting as a supportive caregiver to an in-home sandwich caregiver for her mother’s final six years. In each monthly podcast, Rosanne interviews experts in the field, asking questions caregivers want to know the answers to – with topics ranging from dealing with dementia behaviors, to siblings and caregiving, through end of life care, grief and everything in between. Rosanne carries her authenticity and caregiving experience into each interview. Along with strategies and resources, this podcast also provides listeners with the comfort of knowing they are not facing these challenges alone.

Rosanne has been featured in NPR, CNN Health, Barron’s, and Next Avenue and was most recently named one of Next Avenue and American Society on Aging’s 2024 Advocates for Aging.

Hospice and palliative physician Dr. Matthew Tyler is teaching us how to have conversations with your healthcare team about what matters most to you. In addition to his work as medical director of palliative care services, Matthew educates the public about having meaningful discussions with their healthcare teams, especially the doctor. He calls it “How to Train Your Doctor”. People with serious illnesses, along with their decision-makers, can get better care if they know how to communicate their needs.

Matthew tackles some of the trickiest topics with his How to Train Your Doctor social media posts. Feeding tubes, CPR/DNR decisions, confusing medical jargon, and palliative care are included in YouTube videos and Instagram posts. Matthew says it’s important to determine what the patient considers a meaningful outcome, and what the goals of the patient care are.

Credit for the healthcare "f-word" (medically futile) goes to Dr. Nathan Gray, M.D. of inkvessel.com.
