Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

177 Hospice, Caregiving, and Long-Term Care Planning with Raymond Lavine
Q: No, that makes sense. I have a couple good questions regarding that. You were talking about the long-term care insurance. Does it help pay for caregivers in your own personal home?
Long-term care insurance can cover home caregiving in some plans, and there are variations such as comprehensive versus home-care-specific coverages; benefits depend on the plan and state, with some plans paying for home care, care centers, or a combination.
175 "Dying with Dad": Intimate Conversations and Five Wishes
Q: If you could give my audience one thing to do, how are they going to open up this conversation to begin to either get advanced directives or the Five Wishes completed with a loved one?
I would say to get a copy of the five wishes. It's only $5. Take it to the loved one and say, I have something that I would like you to look over.
164 Embracing Life Through Loss: A Conversation with Andy Chaleff
Q: What do you want your audience that buys your book to know before they pick it up?
He wants his writing to resonate with others, helping them articulate feelings they may not express freely.
164 Embracing Life Through Loss: A Conversation with Andy Chaleff
Q: How did you find forgiveness for the driver that took your mom's life?

164 Embracing Life Through Loss: A Conversation with Andy Chaleff
Q: What is your motivation for writing this book?
Chaleff explains that his motivation stemmed from his discomfort with the topic of death, prompting him to investigate and write about it as a way of processing his experience and helping others.
