If asked, would you be able to define these two terms? They're quite similar but they have distinct differences without one being necessarily better than the other, but perhaps more appropriate in certain situations. They also cross over one another. In our attempts to be better listeners, I encourage you to take a listen and identify which you are inclined toward. Knowing the differences between compassion and empathy can improve your ability to listen and to show up for the most important conversations.

Here is another look at what I see as The Good Death. I'll share the opinions of others in this episode, in addition to mine. These people have much more personal experience than I do, and I think you will find their thoughts quite helpful in your exploration of your wishes for your end of life, or perhaps you will learn how you may be a loving participant in the end of life conversation with someone you love.

If we are so busy giving our advice or even what we consider encouragement to someone who is bearing their soul to us, are we really hearing? Are we have a heart connection? The end of life conversation is important enough that we should listen, intentionally, so that the speaker feels heard. Tune in for some tips on practicing active listening and do much less talking.

This was recorded awhile back and I didn't feel ready to release it, until today. Why today? I don't know for sure, but it felt right to send it out to you all, so here you are. This podcast illustrates one of the most important conversations I have had. I thought it would be difficult, and tears were shed prior to it, but I felt so different afterward. Give it a listen and see how it grabs you and maybe spurs you on to have a similar conversation yourself.

Good or Not So Good, death of a loved one can leave a hole in our heart. I'd like to think that the Good Death leaves more peace behind, where the Not So Good Death can leave pain, anxiety, and important thoughts unexpressed, which can add to or complicate the grieving process. We will hear some examples of the Not So Good Death and some ways to encourage The Good Death.

Listen to the definition of DNR, or Do Not Resuscitate, and what that means to you and your family. It can be a daunting decision to consider for your end of life, and one you should absolutely consider, evaluate, and assess to see if it is a decision you would choose. You do have options. Listen in to my story.

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.
