    Incensed Grandma Day

    Today I am catching up with Grandma for the first time in four months. In good news she is still alive, still Covid free, and appears to be on track to make it to her 88th birthday at the end of July. In bad news, she has lived to see many unthinkable events.

    Dishing with a Death Doula

    Today I am interviewing a new friend and kindred spirit, Carolyn Zaikowski. While Carolyn makes a living as a writer and writing professor, she also has a take on dying as a trained Death Doula. Our conversation covers everything from WHY to become a Death Doula ... HOW to become Death Doula ... and ways to FIND a Death Doula to assist with the tactical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the end of YOUR life, or a loved one’s. She also shares her experience with Death Cafes, and the insightful suggestion that "death can be trusted." Learn more about Carolyn and our conversation topics at the websites below. www.carolynzaikowski.com www.pioneervalleywriters.org radicaldeathstudies.com queerdeathstudies.net Deathcafe.com

    Season 1 Finale: 12 Years of Eldercare

    A bonus holiday podcast with my buddy and expert eldercare consultant, Howard. We cover a hypothetical 12 years of aging when an elder may need: morphine for numbing, 11 rounds of diapering, medical equipment beeping, 24 / 7 nursing, eight specialists billing, help with cognition dimming, elder lawyer paying -- but at least you may get FIVE, INHERITED RINGS ....! -- then they offer four galling words, need three pair of lens and two surgeon gloves ... plus a cartridge of medicine, please!

    Dr. Claire Teaches Caregivers to Chill

    My own Doctor of Acupuncture, Claire McManus, provides eldercare-givers with her expert SELF care tips. She extols the benefits of strategically placed needles, contemplative care retreats, photographing the dead, Death Cafes, meditation apps, therapy dogs, laughter, exercise, and a good night’s sleep. She also has advice for anyone who gets sprayed by a Baird’s tapir, needs to rehabilitate a sea turtle, or wants to befriend an ornery warthog (AND his wife). Mainly Claire is here to remind us: we're all gonna die.
