Season 2, Episode 12: Hard Choices for Loving People with Hank Dunn
Hospice Nurse Penny and Halley (Hospice Social Worker) welcome you on the journey to #NormalizeDeath!<br /> <br /> Our guest is author and palliative care chaplain Hank Dunn. Since 1983, Hank Dunn has been ministering to patients at the end of their lives and their families. During that time he has served in a nursing home, hospice programs and a hospital. He has become an expert on the topic of helping patients and families with end-of-life decisions.<br /> <br /> He is a past president of the Northern Virginia Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association and has served on several ethics committees. Hank has been a speaker nationally on the topic of making end-of-life decisions and spirituality and healthcare.<br /> <br /> To help him explain end-of-life decisions to patients and families, he wrote a booklet to hand to them so they could reflect on the issues discussed. As an afterthought, he sent the book out to other institutions to see if they would be interested in purchasing it for their clients. First published in 1990, Hard Choices for Loving People: CPR, Feeding Tubes, Palliative Care, Comfort Measures, and the Patient with a Serious Illness is now in its Sixth Edition, with over four million copies sold, and it is being used in more than 5,000 hospitals, nursing homes, faith communities and hospice programs nationwide. His second book, Light in the Shadows: Meditations While Living with a Life-Threatening Illness, is a collection of reflections on the emotional and spiritual concerns at the end of life.<br /> <br /> Dementia advanced directives: End of Life Choices New York; https://endoflifechoicesny.org/directives/dementia-directive/<br /> <br /> How to find Hank:<br /> <br /> Website: www.hankdunn.com<br /> <br /> Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hank.dunn.9<br /> <br /> Instagram: @hospicechaplainhank https://www.instagram.com/hospicechaplainhank/<br /> <br /> YouTube: @hankdunn6304 https://www.youtube.com/@hankdunn6304<br /> <br /> Email: hank@hankdunn.com<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> You can reach Penny and Halley at DeathHappensInsiders@gmail.com, on all places you find podcasts are found.

Season 2, Episode 11: Dead Talks with David Ferrugio
Thanks for joining Hospice Nurse Penny and Halley (Hospice Social Worker) on the journey to #NormalizeDeath!<br /> <br /> Our guest is David Ferrugio, creator and host of the wildly successful Dead Talks Podcast. DEAD Talks David Ferrugio engages death a little bit differently. Each new guest shares their experience in a way that shatters the “don’t talk about death” taboo. It's more than a Grief Podcast; it's a conversation about life. Having lost his father on 9/11 when he was 12, David learned the importance of discussion and sharing other people's stories. Grief, loss, death can all start with a dialogue and his mission is to help people that have lost, that are grieving and those that haven't faced death yet, through the words of his guests. <br /> <br /> The website is: https://www.deadtalks.net/about<br /> <br /> The podcast Dead Talks is on all podcast platforms<br /> <br /> YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB_jnuH15XMk2Vx_7_-aIAw <br /> <br /> TikTok: @deadtalkspodcast<br /> <br /> Instagram: @deadtalkspodcast<br /> <br /> You can reach Penny and Halley at DeathHappensInsiders@gmail.com, on all places you find podcasts are found.
