Ep. 37 Insights from Hospice Care and Mediumship w/ Martha Merry & Irene Doreste: Part 2
M
2:14Martha MerryGUEST
... and, and, but the thing I love about hospice, I was a psych nurse too, I love the high communication, high emotion, high feeling, like where you really have to handle people with care.
M
2:24Martha MerryGUEST
I mean, that's where it's like, it- that's where it goes, that's where it's almost spiritual to me.
M
2:29Martha MerryGUEST
Like, I can't explain how it feels in my body and in my heart and my energy to be able to be in that kind of a situation with a family.
M
2:38Martha MerryGUEST
And I will also say I've been with so many people at the moment in the time that they're passing.

Ep. 37 Exploring Hospice Care & Spirituality with Martha Merry and Irene Doreste: Part 1
J
3:46Jim AlstadtHOST
Can you give us a rundown on that, and maybe talk a little bit about your experience and what hospice care is?
M
3:55Martha MerryGUEST
So [clears throat] hospice care is a choice that an individual or a family can make.
M
4:00Martha MerryGUEST
Hopefully, the individual who's being placed on hos- hospice care is at the point where they can say, "Yep, I'd like to do this." Where, um, there's a decision made to have a level of care that is more patient.
M
4:15Martha MerryGUEST
It's always, I mean, patient care is patient-focused, but really we're not gonna do anything curative anymore.
M
4:20Martha MerryGUEST
With the time that we have left in life, we're gonna make the, the amount of time that this person has left in life before they pass as comfortable and, um, with them calling the shots, and on their own terms as much as it can be, hopefully in their own home.
M
4:37Martha MerryGUEST
There are times when people need to be in hospice in a facility if their pain or their discomfort or their agitation can't be controlled at home with oral medications.

Ep. 28 | A Conversation with Health and Wellness Coach Martha Merry
J
2:45Jim AlstottHOST
Why don't you take a, a minute or two to describe for the audience what that is exactly?
M
2:53Martha MerryGUEST
So health and wellness coaching is a, um, I would say it's an experience for, for somebody who wants to make change in their life.
M
3:05Martha MerryGUEST
We think of, of health in a holistic manner, so thinking about the whole person.
M
3:10Martha MerryGUEST
A lot of people when they hear health and wellness coaching, they think it's about eating right and exercising.
