We all need advance planning, but it can be especially important for LQBTQ+ individuals. With the right information and legal steps in place, one’s identity and wishes can be honored through the end of life and dying processes. Ezra Salter - funeral director and creator of the Louisiana LGBTQ+ End of Life Guide - talks about all the things you need to consider to ensure your wishes are respected.

Our focus this week is on end-of-life issues for people in the LGBTQIA+ community. While there is an abundance of information about advance care planning and end of life care in nuclear families and heterosexual couples, there is little information to guide people of diverse sexual orientations and/or gender identities. With the right information and legal steps in place, one’s identity and wishes can be honored through the end of life and dying processes.

This week’s show addresses these ideas and embraces the idea of living our lives as if we were dying.

 This week’s show is about everything New York City…after a fashion. We have a report about the obituary department in the New York times and their focus on illuminating why the lives they feature are significant. Along with a bit of schmaltz we look at digital memories and the meaning that they can have to people.

The entertainment world had two significant losses this spring with the deaths of Darcelle XV and Dame Edna Everage. Their lives were fascinating (including a child abducted by a koala!?) and well-lived and they will be missed by their fans. We also talk to Stevan Lemke about his fatigue to help others navigate this debilitating symptom.

When we are the caregiver for a spouse living with dementia, we often wonder about what our lives have been, where our lives are going, and how long we can do what we are doing. This week we talk with a caregiver about how his life changed after the death of his wife.  We also hear a reading from Greg as he also ponders the way forward, watching a gander that lost its mate.

 There was a time when all the answers regarding the ‘right’ way to do things could be found in one book, and the authoritative author was Emily Post. This week we went to that authority to find out how to write a note of condolence. Spoiler Alert, it does not involve email or texting.  We also talk about how Teddy Roosevelt recovered from the loss of his wife and mother on the same day.

Caregiving for a terminal loved one can be like a marathon, and it can seem hard to imagine life without them and the responsibilities of taking care of them. What do you do next? We answer that question with an interview with Michael Porter whose wife died from Huntington's disease, and a blog by Greg whose wife of 50 years was in a memory care center.
