Normally we want people to eat and drink to heal.  But for terminally ill, what does it mean when they no longer want food or fluids?  How do we continue to support them?  Find out about the dying process and how as a caregiver and family member your focus can shift to symptom management.  Listen also to Sally Herbert - whose father had Alzheimers - and her experience when he refused to eat and drink.

This is the second of a series of talks about the last hours of living with the focus this week on food and fluids. In is natural to assume that what we have been told to do to recuperate and be healthy are the same as what is seen during the dying process. The approaches and rules are different when we are talking about the end of life. This series not only tells you what is different, but why it is different.

When you are not feeling well, even getting a glass of water can seem an unsurmountable challenge.  However physical activity is going to improve your physical function, decrease fatigue, and improve your quality of life.  Our topic this week is "Move It" and ways exercise no matter what phase of disease that you are experiencing. 

We have an interview with Jackie Solimini, a wellness counselor, trainer, health educator, and whole foods advocate. She is a two-time Amazon best-selling author on the topics of happiness and friendship. Jackie wants people to know that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Charlie is cooking and telling some really bad jokes, and Marianne discusses exercise and some of the science behind why it is so important.
