    Deathbed Visioning

    In this episode, Dina and Dina discuss some of their most memorable experiences with deathbed visioning. From patients petting cats that died 30 years ago, to their conversations with their deceased loved ones, to what some patients have been able to tell us about their glimpses of what comes next, it's a wild ride from start to finish.  Please forgive the audio. We know it is not as crisp and clear as the first few episodes, and we are working on it. Please bear with us! Also, we know Karin (the screamy bird) is super annoying. This will be her last appearance in an episode, and we did everything we could to quiet her down. Farewell, Karin. We wish we could say it's been great, but you caused a WHOLE lot of extra editing.

    General Hospice Qualifications

    While the qualifications for hospice vary based on diagnosis, there is a general picture that we see of someone who is in decline. In this episode, Dina and Dina discuss what someone who qualifies for hospice may look and act like, and how you can tell it might be time for hospice.  We recorded this episode outside, because life is too short to be stuck in the podlab when it’s gorgeous out, and in doing so we had both an unexpected co-host and an uninvited visitor that did cause a few choice words. Listener discretion is advised

    Dina and Dina are back with Hospice 101 part two. In this episode, we cover the  comfort pack medications, some of the more common symptoms and their associated medications, and proper medication disposal. In the art of full disclosure, this episode may be drier than most, as it truly is meant to be informative, or a resource for our listeners to listen back to down the line.
