Let's get cozy and talk about interment options. From caskets, to urns, to a mausoleums there are practically endless ways to spend our death. This article from Hospice Basics talks about a number of the most popular options https://loom.ly/CXlnMDE Remember it's never to early to talk about where you want to be! #mfda #funeral #hospicebasics

In our latest episode, we speak with Chairman of the Board for Living in Dying, POSLT and hospice educator, Arnetta Robinson. People think about living well, but have you considered dying well? What would it look like if you had it your way? We spend time planning the important moments in our lives- weddings, births of our children, but what about the last moment of your life? Lean in to the gift of hospice.

Side effects from cancer treatment are usually generalized as the typical fatigue, neuropathy, hair loss, etc. But as a cancer survivor who later received a kidney disease diagnosis let’s do our part and spread the awareness of National Kidney Month. #candidconversations #kidneyhealth #kidneydiseaseawareness #survivorstories

May is Chip Your Pet Month, but we're here to say that caregivers should microchip community cats as well! Microchipping cats, whether they’re indoor or community cats, is the best way to ensure they can be identified and brought back home if lost or impounded.

As we close the chapter on another year, many of us find ourselves reflecting on the transitions that have shaped our professional journeys. Whether you've embarked on a new career path, climbed the ladder within your current role, or are in the midst of seeking new opportunities, change is a constant companion in our careers. One aspect of these transitions that often weighs heavily on our minds is health benefits. The end of the year can bring about a sense of urgency to utilize remaining benefits, while also prompting us to consider what our health coverage will look like in the year ahead. As we look forward to the new year, it's an opportune time to reassess not just our career goals, but also how we prioritize our health and well-being. A new year brings new possibilities, and with it, the chance to align our professional aspirations with our personal health objectives. Let's embrace the transitions, advocate for our health needs, and step into the new year with confidence and clarity. Here's to a prosperous, healthy, and fulfilling 2024 for all of us! #CareerTransitions #HealthBenefits #NewYearGoals #ProfessionalGrowth

Many if not most of our businesses are “people” businesses. It’s not like driving past the Caterpillar yards where the company owns 1000 dirt movers. No, most of our businesses are people… people are the capital. Well, if people are hired and trained and managed by the HR team, then awards like the one this company has earned mean the people who recruited, hired, and trained those people -quite simply built the success of the organization. What a great award for a great business and an even better HR Director. (Bias on display here 😬)

#LetsTalkAboutHD with Molly Kokesh and the Rocky Mountain Chapter Why celebrating hope is so important in Colorado and beyond! Spring in the Mountain West feels like a series of stops and starts - 70 degrees, then 6 inches of snow; buds on trees, followed by frozen tomato plants. Every week, there is hope that winter is behind us and an equal reminder that it is not just yet. Following research for effective treatments for Huntington's disease feels much the same way. Some years bring wins - sometimes big - while others bring significant disappointment. But "where there is hope, there is life." That is what the Celebration of Hope is all about. The focus is not on what this devastating disease is or isn't, but on how our families are strong, resilient, caring, and bold. It is a celebration of the strength of HD families. I look forward to it every year, and, now, so do many of my family members and friends. When we come together as an HD community to celebrate the progress we've made, the community we've built, and the hope we have for tomorrow, we grow more hope. If you are in the state of Colorado this weekend, join Molly and the Rocky Mountain Chapter to raise a glass - or a fork - to our past, our present, and our future.

Dying Matters Awareness Week ❤️ Talking about death is often an ‘out of sight, out of mind’ approach, but the truth is that we are all going to die one day. ✨ Often barriers, including lack of confidence, taboos around discussing death, and confusion stop these conversations from happening, but this week, we want to encourage our communities to speak about death and dying. When experiencing first-hand a loved one dying, it can be difficult to understand what is happening and it is often a scary, confusing experience. It’s important that we understand exactly what is happening when someone is dying so that we can help to support them and our loved ones the best we can. 👫 This short video below by Dr Kathryn Mannix helps to explain what happens when someone is dying and what we can expect. ❤️ 📽️https://bit.ly/3UyTpxW #DyingMattersWeek #TheWayWeTalkAboutDyingMatters
