Allison Applebaum stood by her dad Stanley as his caregiving partner, respecting his wishes and maintaining his quality of life through the very end of his life. Allison was previously the Founding Director of the Caregivers Clinic at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the first program of its kind in the United States to provide comprehensive psychosocial care to family members and friends of patients who are in the caregiving role.
Her father Stanley, a talented and prolific composer and musician, worked with many great artists for the 50âs and 60âs, including Neil Sedaka, Ben E. King, and Connie Francis.
Allison took a lead role as her dadâs caregiver after the death of her mother, helping him deal with Lewy Body Disease (Lewy Body Dementia). After her mother died, Allison and Stan went forward, dealing with intense and traumatic grief.
Allisonâs caregiving story is a beautiful tribute to her dad, and there are many caregivers across the U.S. doing the same job for someone they care about. LBD carries an unusual set of caregiving challenges. Stan defined quality of life as the ability to be creative, grow, and continue to compose his music. As a caregiver, Allison respected his wishes and ensured he lived fully until his death at 96.
Some highlights from Allisonâs unique caregiving story include:
Her dad retained his creativity and this contributed greatly to his quality of lifeStan never had a DNR (Do Not Rescucitate) document, and Allison respected that wish through his deathIntermittent hallucinations were part of his disease, a great source of pain for both Stan and his daughter. Allison considered them partners in caregiving, and worked to build a caregiving village customized to her dadâs needs.Connect with Dr. Allison Applebaum:

Susan Combs will tell you she had a great dad. Her caregiving experience at the end of his life inspired her to give back to the veteran community. Susanâs dad Major General Roger E. Combs was a huge influence on her life. Roger battled with throat cancer related to Agent Orange for ten years, eventually dealing with a feeding tube toward the end of his life. A simple act - his request to eat pancakes - launched a non-profit organization that supports military veterans.
Susan is the president of Combs and Company, based in New York City. Her movement Pancakes for Roger occurs every February. For every pancake-loving picture posted on social media post using the hashtag #PancakesForRoger, Combs & Company will make a donation to the University of Missouri School of Law Veterans Clinic which helps veterans and their families navigate the VA claims process and secure disability benefits when they are faced with obstacles along the way.
Hereâs some advice Susan gives to other end of life caregivers:

Cuddle Cots and Cuddle Blankets allow families to spend more time with a loved one after a death, providing an opportunity for end of life workers to do death care better. Danielle Franck of Flexmort shares her personal experience with a Cuddle Cot in this interview. *Warning - This episode contains a description of the loss of a stillborn infant. It may not be for all listeners. Please take care of yourself.
Danielle is the Business Development Executive of the US at Flexmort, a company that designs and manufactures flexible mortuary solutions for the storage and cooling of a body after death occurs. She is passionate about fostering open discussions around death and loss. Danielleâs personal story is a testimonial to the benefits of utilizing a Cuddle Cot.
Cuddle Cots and Cuddle Blankets keep a body cool after death, enabling families to spend additional time with a loved one. That extra time creates space for meaningful goodbyes, rituals, and post mortem care that supports a healthy grieving process. The Cuddle Blankets are portable and can be used when a home funeral is planned. Itâs also a great tool to use when thereâs a plan for human composting or aquamation, and eliminates the need for dry ice when a family doesnât want embalming. A personal quilt or blanket can be placed on top of the Cuddle Blanket to create a personal touch.

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.

Virginia Marcolinâs 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.

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 âHow to Train Your Doctorâ. 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 itâs 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 thatâs available for patients, including time and communication. Heâs 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 Bobâs 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.
