What?? Who "reads" podcasts and why would I say this? How would you feel if someone you follow in social media or podcasting, YouTube, etc, seemed to drop out of your feed, for no apparent reason at all? How would you know what happened to that person? I am considering making a podcast with a similar title. I also think this is a good reminder to stay in communication with the folks I love most, so that I won't drop out of sight from them. I don't want them to get some maudlin letter stating I have died. I hope those I love most already would know that. How about you?

I attended my first Death Café in 2012. I enjoyed the experience so much I continued to attend different Death Café meetings throughout San Diego. I became a host of Death Café in 2014. Take a listen and see for yourself that talking about death and dying does not have to be scary. It may even be fun!

We are at the beginning of a new year. I don't tend to make resolutions from year to year but for 2023 I do have some changes I'd like to make in my conversations. Have you been considering your end of life plan? We will be talking about the many avenues we can take in starting the discussion about our end of life. We will have interviews sprinkled throughout this year in addition to more education about the Good Death.

I saw a decorated Christmas tree recently that shook me. I was moved. I took a photo of a flyer that hung on the wall behind the tree that described the tree and its purpose.

How can I not be a good listener when I've been told by so many what a good listener I am? This happened in a way I didn't consider until I started talking about how to derail a conversation. Listen in on my mistake.

What can stop heartful conversation in its tracks? We bring our history, perceptions, attitudes and judgments into conversation. If we are careful we can bring out the speaker's intentions by the way we listen and respond. When we are listening with judgment, attitude, impatience or hurt, the conversations don't often produce the results we had hoped to achieve. We are wrapping up listening as we look toward The Year of Conversation.

When you have stuff to talk about but not people to talk about it with, whether because the stuff may be considered too heavy or serious or scary? The PEOPLE, the folks you can talk about anything with, who get you, whom you trust?

We learned about listening, now let's discuss how we can validate what our speaker is saying to us. We can narrow down emotions and tease out feelings that may have been expressed as anger or sadness but actually have a different root, such as fear or loneliness. Exploration into better conversation can improve communication.
Take a listen.

About While We're Still Here
From the publisher's feed
My parents died within five months of each other. It was a blur. Several years later, to help a friend discuss her end of life, I went to a Death Cafe. That was it. No going back. Now the subject…
of dying and death is a topic of daily conversation. Once we acknowledge that 100% of us will die, we can begin to understand the importance of sharing our final wishes and we can work at leaving nothing unsaid to our people. We can empower others to do the same. Let's discuss how to live for today knowing that we all will die.
