I had the BEST time recording with @catherine_ashton_critical of Critical Info this morning! (Not, I must say, in an Oodie but Remy needed a walk 😉 ) We talked about end of life doulas, advance planning, grief, inclusive death care, and why a pet's death can be just as devastating as a human's.
Catherine's work is extraordinary and high-calibre, I encourage you to follow her if you don't already.
What are your weekend plans??!

Have you read the free article about how to avoid carer burnout? Designed by me based on research with end of life doulas, this model is ideal for support networks - both assisted and unassisted dying.
You can download here, and start today! https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/26323524211052569

Update on why advance planning is so incredibly important. It took a month to get our brother's body released for cremation because he had no planning in place. He was finally cremated earlier today.

Today is Dying to Know Day, and as I've done for the past several years I ran an information and education session free to the public.
Advance planning, comparative pricing and sharing personal experiences are some of my favourite parts of these events.
How did you spend your D2KD this year?.

After a fascinating and thought-provoking day of presentations which used the prompt "Rethinking end of life doulas and..." at Douglas College in New Westminster BC, I have a weekend to grapple with my jetlag before diving into our symposium work with the International End of Life Doula Research Group. Thank you to the End of Life Doula Association of Canada and Douglas College (which has a terrific training program for EOLDs, including First Nations people and cultural needs).
Including representatives from the four countries where EOLDs are most strongly represented (Australia -me! - Canada, UK and USA), this upcoming week will explore research options and ideas for the next year or two.
I suspect a truckload of grant writing is in my future!
Stay tuned for updates and have a great day. Oh Canada! 🇨🇦

Wondering why I recommend a dedicated bank account to pay for your funeral? Because some schemes shamelessly rip people off.

March 20-26 is Advance Care Planning Week - and if you are interested in home-based end of life care then good advance planning can help you get there.
Former USA president Jimmy Carter has opted for home-based hospice support, and this can be the norm when we all have strong death literacy and thorough advance planning.
Got questions? I'm here to help.

CW: Discussion of funerals, VAD
Assisted dying has helped us realise that we can do death in more meaningful and personal ways - and this extends to funerals. Did you know, for example, that you can attend your own funeral while you are still alive?
Curious to know more? I'm here to help

Did you know that carer burnout is an urgent global health issue, and that carers for those who choose to die at home are in this group? Happily, the micro compassionate community Mallon Model is designed to help avoid carer burnout, and to streamline end of life doula work.
The open access journal article explaining the Mallon Model has now been downloaded over 2,700 times, and you can also access training workshops - in person and online - to learn how to maximise the benefits of the model, and to tailor it for individual situations.
Click here to access the article https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/26323524211052569 or email [email protected] to arrange a workshop.

Happy New!
For our first #MotivationMonday of 2023, allow me to remind you that the Mallon Model article is free to download. More than 2600 people have gotten their paws on this red-hot asset for avoiding carer burnout when someone has home-based care needs.
Assisted dying, unassisted deaths, disability care and physical therapy networks all benefit from easy organisation and no carer burnout. Try it today, you'll be glad you gained a new tool in your toolkit, one that's simple to model to others. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/26323524211052569
