Care Lessons with The school of Unusual Life Learning

In this episode, my guest Jeanne Denney and address how to talk about life's most difficult moments. When the end of life draws near, what do those you’re caring for want for themselves? It’s a question that stops many dead in their tracks (no pun intended).  We are all drawn to, yet repelled from, asking questions about death and dying. Is it because of fear or some other reason?  What fears and taboos do we hold onto that keep us from sharing our wishes? What should we be afraid of? Should we even tell someone that they’re dying?  How do you make such a difficult subject easier to talk about?  In this episode, my guest Jeanne Denney, a Somatic Therapist and founder of The Unusual School of Life Lessons, and I discuss the answers to some of those questions about death and dying. This subject is particularly interesting and useful as it involves discussions we may be afraid to have with those we care for and those who might wind up caring for us.  Talking about those final stages of life could help us actually better understand our loved ones and ourselves.  #death, #hospital, #care, #parents, #doctor, #cancer, # rehab, #broken hip, #test for dementia, #emergency, #rehab, #brokenHip, #seniorcare #careforagingparentsEpisode Links:Jean Denny: School of Unusual Life LearningEldercare Success on YouTubeCareManityHow to Survive 911 Medical Emergencies, Step-by-Step Before, During, AfterSocial Media Links: FB, IG, Twitter (X), YouTube, LI<br/>Guest: Jeanne Denny, who is a transpersonal and somatic psychotherapist, educator, hospice worker, healer, author of The Effects of Compassionate Presence on the Dying, and founder of the School of Unusual Life Learning (SoULL).  Jeanne began her career as an engineer, and for the past 18 years, she’s worked to help people fearlessly embrace a life that includes aging, dying, and nature. This has involved years at bedsides with the elderly and children, in the study and research, in contributing pioneering ideas to somatic psychology, in death and grief work, teaching, and years of helping create and facilitate the Art of Dying Projects.  Her insights on energy and the body through aging, illness, and dying are unique in that they are derived from a wide lens of human experiences and a deep understanding of our mortal journey.
