Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 544 The Queer Grief Club and Inclusive End-of-Life Care with Jamie Thrower
Q: And I wanted to ask you about some of the tips that you might have for Advanced Directives.
Jamie explains that an advanced directive should name a health care proxy, specify scenarios and quality-of-life preferences, and explicitly include LGBTQ+ affirming language, chosen family members, pronoun usage, and memorial preferences. She emphasizes that details—down to who should be present and how identities are respected—are crucial, and encourages people to use directives as a guide to loving and caring for them.
Ep. 542 Estate Transition: An Important Part of End-of-Life Planning with Dan Stickel
Q: Is estate settlement the same as estate planning, and why should people care about it early?
Estate settlement is the mandatory process after death, distinct from planning; starting early with lists and documents can greatly ease the executor's job and reduce family conflict.
Ep. 542 Estate Transition: An Important Part of End-of-Life Planning with Dan Stickel
