Are conversations about death and dying a regular part of your role? Have you got better at navigating them over the years, or does it still vary from person to person?    Earlier this month, Hospice UK held their Dying Matters Awareness Week (an annual thing), and as many of us are helping clients plan for the future (often well beyond their own lifespan), I found it helpful to read about some different perspectives on the words, phrases and body language people use when they talk about dying.    Lucy Pain, a palliative medicine consultant suggested this simple yet effective phrase as a conversation starter, “How are you feeling about the future?”.    One of Lovegrove Financial's services is estate and inheritance planning. We believe that the peace of mind someone will get from talking about money and death whilst they’re still here hands-down beats the uncomfortable feelings that have made them avoid it so far.    #lovegrovefinancial #dyingmatters 

When someone you love receives a terminal diagnosis, the whole family is suddenly faced with a prolonged crisis. While medical advances have given us the gift of extending life, meaning that a loved one could survive months or even years before dying, it has also changed the way we grieve. Help Guide in collaboration with Harvard Health posted an article about the 5 Stages of Family Grief. It's adapted from the book, Saying Goodbye. It's written as a guide through this complex journey, offering hope and healing for those who may be "living with death" for an extended period of time.

Someone should address the administration about the policy they put in place to ban pain killers. I understand there's an abuse problem. But there were more effective ways of dealing with this. What they did is eliminate millions of Americans who suffer terribly from pain most people can't imagine. Can no longer get anything to help them. It affects people on all levels of their lives. Psychically, mentally, functionally, the list goes on and what they did is about as sadistic as it gets. In the meantime Fentynal flows through the border and causes countless deaths and additions. Meanwhile those in need can't work, have relationships, ha any normalcy to their lives and many are killing themselves rather than suffer. Others who never would have considered going to the street are doing that. This needs to be rethought and no long make doctors fear prescribe the medicines patients need. The answer isn't always needles, surgeries, and alsorts of intrusive procedures that don't work. Have some empathy for those suffering. It may be you one day. No one should be forced to suffer or go to the streets and risk their life when we Han doctors that specialize in pain. This has to fall under human rights.

It takes extra skills to explain the disease processes or a prognosis to children with life limiting conditions. Unlike adults where sometimes they may have insights based on their own exploration. However, do not underestimate a child, evidence has it that children usually know and understand a great deal more than parents or health workers think. It seems tough to talk about issues of bereavement- bereavement tree, will writing, the entire breaking bad news process. What matters is the proper assessment. As Derek Doyle once said, the heart and soul of good palliative care is immaculate assessment. Good children’s palliative care management planning means hoping for the best and planning for the worst. Let me conclude by this "...One gets the strong impression that many of today’s health care professionals regard hospitals as diagnostic centres rather than care centres and that much of the palpable tension in them is due to ‘bed-blocking’ whilst the waiting list for diagnostic or emergency procedures gets longer by the day. It is difficult to explain why so few expected deaths occur at home when all studies show that home is the preferred place of death" - Derek Doyle #paediatricpalliativecare #paediatricpalliative #childrenpalliative #palliativecare #palliativemedicine #palliative

Bill-C277 National Brain Injury Strategy requires a number of things, like the implementation of preventative measures and identifying the training, education and guidance needs of health care professionals, but it will also identify the challenges resulting from brain injury, such as mental health problems, addiction, housing and homelessness issues, and criminality. The bill would also have reporting requirements so that Parliament can keep tabs on this strategy.

If you or your family member is seriously injured both you and your loved one will be in shock. And it may last a lot longer than you can imagine. Having a spouse, child, sibling, or parent, who has suffered a serious injury like a traumatic brain injury or quadriplegia is a tragedy and there will be an adjustment period. At first, there is some relief that the loved one has survived. And then there is disbelief as to the extent of the injuries and potentially some denial about the permanence of those impairments. In this article I unpack the process, considerations, and helpful advice you should keep in mind when navigating a personal injury incident.

Morning network. A pretty reflective morning after reading of Rob Burrow CBE death yesterday and his five year journey with Motor Neurone Disease. Why reflective? As anyone who has ever been a carer will attest: waking up without a day of occupation, the sleepless nights from hearing a life-assisting machine bleep, or alarm; of sweating through Covid that the dressings, drugs, or consummables might not arrive, or that the one visitor (who you are desperate for as you’re so isolated) could be the one that brings the virus to your door. To the five years of extreme fatigue for being an invisible carer, and the turning of your family home into a hospital, to the awful realisation this morning that you have ‘nothing to do’. No feed changeovers, no laundry, no appointments, no bag emptying, no re-ordering of stock, no wondering if this day will be the last. It is invisibly exhausting and yet the absence of that occupation is full of emotion too big to describe. So this morning, Lindsey Burrow and your incredible three children. I see you, I walk with you through the burden of releasing your grief and fatigue, and we all carry you in our thoughts today. To carers everywhere: we see you too. The quiet compassion and resilience teaches all of us (who profess to be knowledgeable on such matters) that dignity and courage start at home. RIP Rob Burrow CBE, thank you for reminding us all of the strength of the carers. To those in healthcare, this is why I do it. If one moment of my work made any patient journey smoother, pain free or less burdensome for those doing the caring, then I have truly made a difference. #carers #compassion #MND #motorneuronedisease #resilience #respect #courage #dignity #NHS #family #integratedurgentcare
