  • Dr. Ira Byock believes hospice can heal its own dysfunction by holding providers and clinicians responsible for the care we provide and how we provide it.

    Physician Dr. Ira Byock is a voice for change in the hospice industry, and an advocate for quality end of life care. His many years of experience in hospice medicine, coupled with the compassion he has for people dealing with serious illness, have made him an industry leader in the U.S. According to his website (irabyock.org), he is “Founder of the Institute for Human Caring at Providence St. Joseph Health. Dr. Byock is Active Professor Emeritus of Medicine and Community & Family Medicine at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. He served as Director of Palliative Medicine at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire from 2003 through July 2013. Dr. Byock has been involved in hospice and palliative care since 1978. His research has contributed to conceptual frameworks for the lived experience of illness that encompasses a continuum from suffering to wellbeing; related measures for subjective quality of life during illness; and effective life-completion counseling methods. From 1996 to 2006 he directed Promoting Excellence in End-of-Life Care, a national Robert Wood Johnson Foundation program that developed prototypes for concurrent palliative care of people with life-threatening conditions. He is a past president of the Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine.”

    What Dr. Byock’s bio doesn’t describe is his caring heart. It drives his dedication to identifying the issues we face in the hospice industry and offering evidence-based, practical solutions. He wants the hospice silo of healthcare to correct its own path. Dr. Byock believes hospice can heal its own dysfunction by holding providers and clinicians responsible for the care we provide and how we provide it. His articles in STAT magazine and the Journal of Palliative Medicine describe actionable, practical solutions. Hospice practitioners of every discipline can learn from Dr. Byock.

  • 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 50’s and 60’s, including Neil Sedaka, Ben E. King, and Connie Francis.

    Allison took a lead role as her dad’s 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.

    Allison’s 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 Allison’s 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 dad’s needs.

  • 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. Susan’s 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.

    Here’s some advice Susan gives to other end of life caregivers:

    Do one thing every day for yourselfBring in your “crew”, those friends who can support youHave the advance care plan conversations, even though it’s difficult

  • 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. Danielle’s 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. It’s also a great tool to use when there’s a plan for human composting or aquamation, and eliminates the need for dry ice when a family doesn’t 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 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.

    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.

  • The last conversation you want to have shouldn’t be the last one you do have. Filmmaker Johanna Lunn is using her lifelong curiosity about death to bring documentaries about "What happens when we die," to life. She’s the co-founder of the When You Die Project which hosts a resource-rich website, podcast, and documentary trilogy.

    The When You Die Project is here to facilitate a cultural dialogue most often avoided — one that begins at the end. From existential afterlife questions such as “What happens when you die?” to palliative care, and the nuts and bolts of preparing for end of life. 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.
