Now what?  My loved one just died, and I do not have a clue what to do next. One of the biggest myths is that those who work in funeral homes are all about making money.  Quite the contrary.  Those who work in funeral homes are like those who work in hospice or any healthcare profession.  They are motivated by their love for people and want to provide comfort. 

Hear from our guest, Heather Hill, a licensed funeral director of 10 years as she answers questions about what happens after death and how you can prepare for the inevitable.

It's common to feel conflicting emotions when someone we love is suffering from a serious illness. On the one hand, we want to do everything possible to find a cure, but on the other hand, we want to ensure that they find comfort and peace and die without pain.

There are two major myths about hospice care. The first is that you can only elect hospice when you have just a few days left to live. The second is that hospice patients are given lots of drugs to make them "comfortably numb." This is not true. Hospice care is all about making sure that the patient is comfortable and pain-free, but it is done safely and responsibly. This type of care can provide loved ones with more quality time.

In this episode of Angels 2nd Class, we have Dr. Ashley

How do you show your love to someone or how can you tell if someone loves you? Is it through hugs and kisses, spending time together, offering words of encouragement, or giving gifts? And if you had to choose, would you be willing to die or live for someone you love?

Expressing your love to your loved ones can be done by removing some of the uncertainty and guesswork around what you want in case of your death. In this regard, our Angel 2nd Class Guest, Kevin Turner, will be sharing his experience with his father's decision to elect hospice and palliative care. He will also dispel some of the common misconceptions about hospice, including how his father left or “graduated” from hospice because he had shown signs of improvement.
