Hospice & Caregiving

With millions of individuals caring for an increasingly aging population, we have made an effort here at Conscious Discussions to cover chronic illness and end of life issues in an effort to encourage our listeners at a time when they may be feeling vulnerable, overwhelmed and grief-ridden. Frances Shani Parker is our featured guest of the day - she is a writer, former school principal and a hospice volunteer for 10 years. She has written a captivating book titled – Becoming Dead Right: A Hospice Volunteer in Urban Nursing Homes. Today’s listeners will discover interesting and helpful information regarding nursing homes, caregiving and common aging issues from pain management to dementia. We will also learn how to handle death, rituals and bereavement in a healthy way. Find Frances at: www.francesshaniparker.com -&- the host at: www.brummet.ca
