182 The Timely Presence: Year-Long Grief Support and Showing Up After Loss
Q: How many products or gift options are available, and how does someone buy in?
There are pre-built collections that are selected in a one-time purchase; you provide basic information and a photo, and the company handles the rest with three to six deliveries over the next year.
182 The Timely Presence: Year-Long Grief Support and Showing Up After Loss
Q: So tell us what Timely Presence is today and what it's doing for people.
Timely Presence delivers curated, milestone-focused gift collections over the course of a year, personalized with the departed's name, dates, and a photo, to help families feel remembered on important days.
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.
