When his dad died, Adam Zuckerman created a highly organized kit for managing his estate. As founder of Buried in Work, he helps people get their end-of-life preparation in place. Adam’s family learned the ins and outs of hospice as they supported his dad at the end of his battle with leukemia. Although their time using hospice care was short, Adam saw the benefits of end of life care first hand.
Adam's mission is to empower individuals of all ages to navigate the intricacies of estate planning with confidence and ease. Through Buried in Work, he seeks to revolutionize the way people approach end-of-life preparations, ensuring that everyone has access to the resources they need to secure their legacy and protect their loved ones.

In honor of National Hospice and Palliative Care Month - and National Family Caregivers Month - we’re featuring a special 4-part series with special guest Barbara Karnes, Hospice Nurse and End of Life Educator. In the first episode of the series, Barbara shares how she got started in end of life care back before the Medicare hospice benefit was established in the 1980’s.
Here are some highlights of this special episode:
Barbara thinks she should have been a social worker but her mother talked her into nursing.She and her fellow hospice nurses learned how to provide their own self care without really knowing what it was.Barbara’s aversion to causing patients any pain or suffering made patient care difficult for her.She believes it’s important for hospice leadership to truly understand end of life work, and to have a comprehensive knowledge of hospice care.Barbara believes sacred rituals and beautiful memories can be created at the time of death.Connect with Barbara Karnes:

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.

If it has to do with death, they’re talking about it.
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.

Being an advocate for someone in hospice care is a big job. MSW Jacob Kendall of Demystifying Healthcare is teaching us how to do it well. Advocacy for his own healthcare needs has taught him how to communicate with a healthcare team to get the best care possible. Jacob teaches about the various aspects that influence that care that’s available for patients, including time and communication. He’s also looking from a 30,000 foot view as well, acknowledging that geography, poverty, time, and policies influence the kind of care we receive.
Jacob is a fan of interdisciplinary care. He believes every specialist or discipline should be working together to create more continuity in our healthcare. In addition to clinical providers, Jacob also thinks other modalities add value to our care. Connecting with other people experiencing similar health challenges can be valuable. Jacob brings a multidimensional perspective to his work as a healthcare consumer and an educator.

As co-founder of Empowered Endings, Dr. Bob Uslander, is working to shift the paradigm of End of Life Care by supporting, guiding, and teaching an empowered approach to Palliative and End of Life Care. He became aware of the gaps in hospice and palliative care that cause patients to struggle. The deaths of his parents and a dear friend provided a personal perspective into caregiving that formed Bob’s determination to meet the needs of people with serious illness in a better way.
Empowered Endings supports both patients and families through the final stages of life. Bob, his wife Medical Social Worker Elizabeth, and the Empowered Endings team ensure each person feels heard, held, and whole throughout the end of life journey. The team utilizes End of Life Doulas, nurses, a chaplain, and a grief and dementia doula.

Welcome to Season 9 of The Heart of Hospice Podcast! Occupational Therapists Emilia Bourland and Dr. Brandy Archie are sharing how OTs can improve the quality of life for patients and caregivers on hospice care. OTs are underutilized in end-of-life care, but they’re an essential part of the hospice interdisciplinary team.
There’s a lot of support OTs can offer to make caregiving tasks easier, practical solutions to everyday issues for activities of daily living. Occupational Therapy interventions can include managing equipment, setting up meals, and transfer techniques. It’s about problem-solving to make caregiving tasks easier and promote independence for the patient. Caregivers have a big job, so reducing the caregiving burden goes a long way to improving the end-of-life experience for both the person at end of life and the ones who are providing their care.

Using her unique gifts, Erin and the Compassionate Coaching theater troop employ “playback theater” to develop engaging programming that centers around giving and receiving empathy. They work with end of life teams to mitigate burnout, enabling the teams to continue providing care for those who are dying.
Erin understands grief, loss, and the importance of caring for ourselves as we care for others. Erin lived her whole life in a state of anticipatory grief for the loss of her older sister, Gina. Gina was born with severe cerebral palsy, and died in 2016. Grief milestones are very familiar to Erin. Now she uses her work at Compassionate Coaching to support those who work to care for the dying.

Pharmacist Ellen Fulp is passionate about using medications appropriately to care for patients who are at their most vulnerable. As a part of the hospice interdisciplinary team, Ellen collaborates with the hospice director and nurse to ensure quality of life is supported, and a patient’s suffering is reduced. Caregivers and patients often misunderstand how medication is used in hospice care. Ellen believes in symptom resolution, keeping the patient’s goals of care in mind.
In hospice care, pharmacists do more than just review medications for side effects or adverse effects. They help the clinical team find the best medication options to keep the patient comfortable. That includes finding the right route, the most convenient and safe times for administering the medications, and ensuring the medications are utilized correctly by the patient. When medication diversion (meds being stolen or used by someone else) is a concern, pharmacists coordinate with the hospice team to furnish the meds in a safe, legally compliant way. Pharmacists might not be part of the “core team”, but they’re a vital part of the care of a hospice patient.

Hospice nurse Eileen Spillane of Befriending Death has learned to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. Eileen is the Founder of Befriending Death and has been a Registered Nurse for over thirty years, specializing in Oncology, Critical Care, and Obstetrics. She is a certified Life Coach from New Ventures West, a former Zen Hospice Project Volunteer, a Meditation Teacher, and an Active Travel Guide. She has been at the bedside of many as they transition through the dying process and cares very deeply about this topic.
On the Befriending Death website, Eileen writes that “if we have conversations about it (death), we might loosen up the fear and anxiety around it. If we prepare and share our wishes, we can give our loved ones the gift of clarity and direction so they feel confident they are following our wishes and have the opportunity to grieve without further unnecessary stress”.
Eileen’s courses can benefit everyone, from people with life-changing illnesses to elder law attorneys and caregivers for someone with a chronic illness. The courses include smaller “buddy groups” that create a deeper connection between participants. The Let's Chat About Death course provides an opportunity to investigate what’s important in our lives and make changes that reflect that.
