Who can give better advice to help with grief than a kid who suffered the sudden loss of her father... “Sit by them in silence” thank you Rylie for your courage to help other children ⁦@endwellSF⁩ #EndWell19

I’m admiring Barbara’s poles. She’s always reminded me of my grandmother of whom I’m 100% certain would have been a designer if she’d know that’s what to call what she did naturally - improve everything around her by watching how people use things. #endwell19

The Humane Prison Hospice Project provides training to prisoners at San Quentin State Prison so they are better equipped to provide care to their fellow inmates at end of life. Here's a link to @wendymac's illustration of the project: https://t.co/8OlybgdiJ7 #EndWell19

@Marvin_Mutch prison hospice advocate—in the Vacaville prison hospice, “caregivers are often other prisoners...in CA, there are 17 hospice beds in a system of 175,000 prisoners.” Humane Prison Hospice project is training caregivers to change that. #EndWell19 #hapc

How much money have you spent learning how to live in the moment? Be open, look with new eyes and you will likely learn beautiful lessons from that dementia patient you thought once you should “pity”. Don’t stop listening, listen harder....thank you Sallie Tilsdale, RN!

“If you can learn to forgive yourself for things, it creates more room to receive forgiveness from others.” @TheTimMcGraw discusses the importance of #selfcare (physical, mental and emotional) in order to help others. #EndWell19

My father who was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer did the same thing. It's interesting how we all try to protect each other from mortality. #EndWell19 #eol #hpm #hcsm #btsm

The silver lining, the gift of her dad’s cancer, is being so f*cking grateful for being here and for her health and being alive. @MeghanMcCain talks about how her outlook on life has changed. #EndWell19 @endwellSF

[End Well @endwellproject]

Passed away and passed on are common euphemisms for describing the end of someone's life. Why are we so afraid to say death? @drkathrynmannix explores.

[Meghan McCain @MeghanMcCain]

Really looking forward to speaking at the #EndWell19 convention tomorrow. Destigmatizing grief and death is so imperative and I look forward to continuing the conversation with everyone.

By exposing people to the realities of aging and death, caregiving can inspire us to plan for our future care needs. via @washingtonpost by @TaraBahrampour feat. @RichardLui @AmyGoyer https://t.co/ue09sd90f7
