A GOOD DEATH
Let's not just fade away; let's FLOURISH as we age!
The MINDRAMP Podcasts focus on three key components that have been shown to contribute to flourishing in the later years of your life. You will find mini-series of episodes that explore each component.
1) Keeping your brain and body healthy - see The Roots of Brain Health
2) Managing your mental states - see Flourishing
3) Planning the kind of death you want to have - (coming 10/1/24))
You will also find the occasional episodes that focus social concerns that I feel have an impact on our well-being, for example "Elections."

END-OF-LIFE #7 - The Hard Conversations
Comments? Send me a text message.
This episode, number 7 in MINDRAMP's End-of-Life series, is about having “The Hard Conversations,” those difficult, but important, conversations with your family and loved ones about the kind of death you want to have. As usual I am talking with my friend Chris Palmer the author of a new book called Achieving A Good Death.
Chris and I talk about why it is important to talk about the kind of death you want with both loved one's and care professionals. They won't be able to help you if they don't know what you want. Unfortunately, death is a taboo topic for most Americans. Chris and I talk about how to start a conversation about death, how to what to say to family and loved ones and how to have this conversation with young ones, with grandchildren. We also discuss various organizations that exist specifically to promote conversations about end-of-life issues.
