Not Yet, with Author Dr. Jeff Driscoll MD

11/4/2020

As an emergency physician, Dr. O’Driscoll received messages that helped him care for patients. Occasionally they led him to a diagnosis he hadn’t considered. Some people, however, were simply too ill or too injured to survive. And, when a patient died, sometimes he saw their spirit—their eternal essence—leave their body. They always thanked him for his efforts. They were always grateful. Knowing how they felt about their transition helped Dr. O’Driscoll when friends and family members left this realm.

After a quarter century of silence, he finally came to feel he should share. Many of his experiences are in his award-winning book, Not Yet. Others, he shares in person. In the ER, he cared for more than 60,000 patients. As he boarded a plane to his first formal speaking engagement, a kind voice he’d come to trust, wrapped around his heart and whispered, “You will help more people with this book than you helped as a physician in the emergency department.” He was so grateful he wept.

10/07/2020

The after effects of David’s NDE were undeniable. He suddenly developed the ability to produce high quality paintings, a new found skill that went far beyond the artistic ability he had before. It was a feeling inside of him when he awoke in the hospital that could not be denied. Then he also suddenly acquired the ability to compose classical symphonies! His symphonies were then premiered to a sell out orchestral concert. This is proof even a hard core cynic could not deny.

In this episode we will go into depth with David about these experiences. We will hear him speak of the light, the profound feeling and knowing the beings who smiled at him when he recognized that they were familiar to him. David’s book Shine On is a must read. There is no denying what happened to him is truth that we live on, that our new life when we leave here is full of love more than we can ever comprehend.

Knocking on Heavens Door with Author Katy Butler

09/30/2020

When he was 79, Katy Butler’s seemingly vigorous father suffered a devastating stroke. A year later he was outfitted with a pacemaker in a moment of hope. Hope: everyone deserves hope, no matter what hope may be. For Katy’s family, hope meant getting dad back to where he used to be —a hope that could not be fulfilled.

What you will find out in this episode with award-winning journalist Katy Butler is that a pacemaker can keep a heart going while the elderly patient slides into dementia, incontinence, and misery. As Katy wrote in her bestselling memoir, Knocking on Heaven’s Door, “After the mid 1950’s the attitudes of many doctors and patients shifted from faith in God and acceptance of death to faith in medicine and resistance of death.” Please join us as we explore a taboo subject: love, caregiving, and quality of life versus length of life.

Conversations with Scars

09/23/2020

The first time Margaret was really exposed to death and the concept of what it means to die, she was 10 years old. A girl from the summer camp that she had been attending for a few years had died and they had a memorial at camp that summer. She died from complications related to Spina Bifida, a birth defect they both shared. A device, called a shunt, that drains excess fluid from her head, had stopped working and they couldn’t fix it. When she heard what happened, Margaret became terrified at the thought that at any moment that could happen to her, too. She spent countless hours and days living in fear that she would die. Adding to her preoccupation with thoughts of her own mortality, both of her parents were diagnosed with cancer 6 months apart that year. Margaret soon learned that death would be a constant theme in her life. This is just the tip of the iceberg for Margaret.

“Gone From My Sight” With American Hospice Pioneer, Barbara Karnes, RN

9/2/2020

Barbara Karnes is truly the American Hospice Pioneer. As a nurse, she noticed after her experiences at the bedside of hundreds of people before they died, that each death she witnessed was following an almost identical script. Each person was going through the same process. And most families had the same questions. It was after these realizations that Barbara sat down and wrote the Little Blue Book that changed an industry.

Now, I finally get to meet the woman who wrote the little book that helped so many of my families on their grief journeys. Having that little book with me brought me great comfort just to know I had something that might help their sadness. In this interview not only will we be speaking of her books, but her own journey, 40 years and counting. Barbara is a true gift to hospice, my hero and mentor. When one is at the bedside with a family that is not ready to let their loved one be gone from their site her books are a Godsend. Join us!

And then there are the influences along the way that add to the texture and color of who we are, and what we value.

The Conversation Project

5/6/2020

The Conversation Project® is a public engagement initiative with a goal that is both simple and transformative: to have every person’s wishes for end-of-life care expressed and respected.

Too many people die in a manner they would not choose, and too many of their loved ones are left feeling bereaved, guilty, and uncertain. It’s time to transform our culture so we shift from not talking about dying to talking about it. It’s time to share the way we want to live at the end of our lives. And it’s time to communicate about the kind of care we want and don’t want for ourselves.

We believe that the place for this to begin is at the kitchen table—not in the intensive care unit—with the people we love, before it’s too late.
