Advice for Future Corpses with Sallie Tisdale RN_057

Apr 17, 2019

Why is it so hard to say that someone died? We use the terms “passed away”, “departed”, “crossed over”, among others because we can’t say died.

Sallie Tisdale is a straight shooter. She uses her experience as a writer, a Zen Buddhist, and an RN, to educate about end of life and care of the dead in her book Advice for Future Corpses: A Practical Perspective on Death and Dying

Check out today’s episode and find out:

• What the most common fears associated with death and dying are.
• The impact burial and cremation have on our environment.
• Things you should know about hospice.

Although we didn’t discuss this, Sallie mentioned PACE programs. I will do an episode on PACE in the future, but in the meantime, check out the link for more information.
