Visit from our loved ones after death
Everyone Dies had the pleasure of talking with Bill Guggenheim about after-death communications (ADC) which are contacts from someone who has died directly to us by the dead without a medium. We can’t make it happen, we do not control it…it either occurs or it doesn’t. One of the first books that took a data gathering approach to these communications was published in 1995 by Bill and Judy Guggenheim in their book, Hello From Heaven!. In it, they share 353 stories from people about ADC, stories from people in all walks of life. Have you ever had a visit from a loved one who was dead?

Why Do People Die
Children have questions about everything. This week Dr. Marianne Matzo is talking with William the Fifth and his mother Lorilei about why people die, how people die (William talks a bit about bayonets and the American Revolution), and what happens after death. William is fascinated with zombies and Michael Jacksons’ “Thriller” video, so, our interview includes the evolution of zombies. A resource to help you talk to children about death is Everyone Dies and yes, it is normal (Vanitas Press, 2020). This book offers a clear, communicable paradigm regarding why death happens and does not shy away from the fact that death is a natural part of life. It offers children and adults in their lives a simple way to talk about death. We are working to normalize death starting with very young children so that we can prevent/reduce fear of mortality. This book can help inform this agenda, but more importantly, helps families with children who are grieving and lack the tools to help their children understand what is happening.

Who Takes Care of Nurses
Our show this week is pleased to share with you an interview with Jane Nelson, CEO of the Oklahoma Nurses Association since 2002. We talk about the challenges of providing support and work/life balance in nursing. 91% of nurses are women; in other professions, large numbers of women left their jobs during the pandemic to care for and home-school their children.

Normalizing Death for Young Children
Our guest this week is Darlene Domanik, co-author of the recently released children’s book “Everyone Dies and yes, it is normal” published by Vanitas Press, LLC. Given the unprecedented number of deaths related to Covid-19, children need a clear paradigm regarding why death happens.

Everyone Dies does not shy away from the fact that death is a natural part of life and offers children and the adults in their lives a way to talk about it.

The Death of a Parent
We met Noelle a few weeks ago when I interviewed her about caring for her mother with hospice support. Since we last talked to her, her mother died last month after five and a half months in hospice. Nicole describes those five months as a “slow free fall” and her current state of grief as feeling numb. The death of a parent is a profound loss; both because of the relationship that came before and despite the relationship that came before. Parental loss in midlife may result in lingering feelings of loneliness, raise memories of former losses, remind us of unresolved conflicts, and make us wonder about life’s purpose. In the death of our parents, we start to realize our mortality and lose our perceived buffer from death.

My Second Diagnosis of Breast Cancer
Being diagnosed with cancer is very scary. Having it return is a fear on a totally different level. On the other hand, many people cope with a recurrence differently than the first time around. There is some familiarity with the health care system, and you have a relationship with an oncologist and their team when you have cancer recur. Some of the changes documented in people who have had a cancer diagnosis are a greater appreciation of life, greater confidence in themselves, more caring and compassion for others, and more focus on life’s priorities. This week we are talking with Denice who was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, buried her mother who died from metastatic breast cancer in 2015, and then had a local recurrence of her breast cancer in 2020.

Does Hospice provide 24 Hour Care
Many people think of hospice as a place people go to die. Some think that if you get hospice services a hospice nurse moves in with the dying person and does all their care until they die. Neither of these is true. There are hospice houses (not all communities have one) where people can go for the last few days of their lives under specific circumstances. But electing the hospice benefit in the United States requires that there be a caregiver willing to provide the twenty-four care. This week we are talking with Noelle whose 71-year-old mother started to receive hospice care on July 2 (her mother died 9/27) and Noelle learned firsthand what was required to provide care for her mom. There is a lot involved in caring for someone at the end of life, medications to be given, physical care to be offered. Noelle’s initial thought about this was that ‘they really don’t expect us to do this, do they?’ Well, yes Noelle, they do. Tune in to this enlightening interview with Noelle. and from all of us at Everyone Dies we offer Noelle and her family condolences on the death of their mother.

Going Through a Lung Transplant
Dr. Marianne Matzo previously had the pleasure of interviewing Stevan Lemke who talked with us about being diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In this second interview, he takes us through the process of being evaluated for a lung transplant, the wait, the surgery, and the postoperative experience. Before being approved for placement on the transplant list Steven underwent 9 days of testing. When the lungs were finally approved for his surgery, that surgery took 14 hours. Afterward, he and his family were required to stay three months at the transplant center hospital city (which was 300 miles from his home). When we think about the process of an organ transplant very few people really know what is involved. This radio show gives you a view into that world. Stay tuned for a future interview with Stevan where we will talk about what happens after you return home with your new organ.

Would you be part of a clinical trial
This week, I had the pleasure to interview Deborah Wright, APRN, CNS who works in the Phase I Program and Clinical Trials Office at the Stephenson Cancer Center in Oklahoma City. We talked about clinical trials, what they are and how they may benefit people who participate in them. The road to having a drug to treat cancer or the development of a vaccine is complicated and long. Drug companies and clinicians want to be sure that anything given to a patient does not hurt them. The only way to do this is that once a drug has been tested in animals and determined to be ready for human trials is to start testing with a small number of people. Ms. Wright talks about this process and what people can expect if they choose to participate in a clinical trial.

Living with a Chronic Illness
Imagine if you will, finding yourself increasingly short of breath. Sure, maybe you smoked in the past, maybe you never did. Maybe you could lose a few pounds, maybe not. But for whatever reason, you can’t seem to get a good breath. You cough, sometimes you can’t stop. Your doctor gives you steroids, cough syrup, nothing works. One day, you decide to see a specialist and are diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Whatever that is, it doesn’t sound good to you. Listen to this interview with Stevan, who was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and had a double lung transplant five years ago.

Coping with the Loss of Your Best Friend
When we are young, we feel as though we cannot survive without a best friend. We can tell them our secrets and we hear theirs and feel like the sun rises and sets on them. Few of us, though, have the experience of going throughout our entire lives with that friend. This week we are talking to Chris who met her best friend Cathy in third grade. They lived in the same town, married and had children at the same time, and raised those kids together. When Cathy was 65, she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease and died with Chris holding her hand at age 70.

You find yourself diagnosed with a disease like colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, or Crohn’s disease (to name a few) and find out that part of the treatment is a colostomy. A colostomy is a surgical operation where a piece of the colon is brought out an opening in the abdominal wall to bypass a damaged part of the colon. How do you now exercise, make love, go swimming?

Imagine if you will, your father has Alzheimer’s Disease (for the last 4 years) and has been doing relatively well until being diagnosed with Covid-19. He then stops eating and drinking, is admitted to the hospital for dehydration, and returns to the Hospice care facility. He is still refusing to eat or drink and is now on his ninth day. You honestly don’t know how he is still alive after not eating or drinking for so long. This is starting to feel cruel. As a family member, what are you supposed to do?

Making Health Decisions
"What happens if we are so sick that we are unable to make our own health care decisions? How do we ensure that the decisions that are made are the ones that we would make ourselves? Completing an Advance Directive is an important way to be prepared for this situation and naming a surrogate decision-maker is part of this process. " "This week on Everyone Dies we chatted Noble Livingston who shared with us his story about making an end of life decisions for his mother when she was too sick to make them for herself. He talks candidly about understanding what his mother wanted for the end of her life and how he and his brother were able to make decisions that were consistent with her wishes."

When you make that decision for hospice support
Deciding to have hospice support is often a very difficult decision for people. Many feel as though they are ‘giving up’ or that they should continue to take treatments. How do you make this decision? This week on Everyone Dies we chatted Chris Sperry who talks with us about his decision to elect hospice support after 10 years of treatment for Stage IV colon cancer that metastasis to his liver and lungs. Deciding to stop curative treatment is never an easy decision. Chris talks very eloquently about the factors that influenced this decision and what he has learned from living with serious illness for the past 10 years.
