When Your Massage Client Has Dementia  https://medium.com/@everflowing"


Providing massage for dying persons presents multi level challenges to me as a practitioner. One of these special challenges is working with persons experiencing dementia. One of the blog posts that has been archived earlier is titled The Lost Pause. https://medium.com/@everflowing"…

    Hi Kathleen

    Sorry for sending you an email out of blue.

    My name is Edson Oda.

    I’m a Graduate Film Student at USC (University of Southern California-Los Angeles).

    Recently I’m producing a Documentary Film about HOSPICE PATIENTS. It’s called: “Passion for Life”.

    Our intention with this documentary is to show how Hospice Patients can be great examples of courage and how they can inspire other people to enjoy life and live better.

    We also believe that this kind of Film can help and inspire other people who are also fighting for life. I mean, other Hospice Patients (and their Families) who watch this film will see they are not alone in this struggle.

    Since you are in this Hospice Community I was wondering if you  know any Hospice Patient, nurse or volunteer (from LA area) that could be interested in taking part in this kind of project.

    Or maybe you could give me an advise of what is the best way to reach these people.

    Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks you very much for your attention.

    Edson Oda

Just Published!!
by Rashani Rea & Kathy Douglas

Those who companion suffering daily, such as hospice nurses and volunteers, will surely appreciate this beautiful work. With 62 original art collages by Rashani Réa, five beautiful chapters by Kathy Douglas, and a foreword by Jean Watson, this exquisite book is a peaceful refuge for contemplation, inquiry, reflection and inspiration for those who traverse the joys and sorrows of nursing.

Kathy Douglas, RN, MPH-HA is a nationally recognized nurse leader, filmmaker and entrepreneur. 

Rashani Réa is a prolific artist and musician, a creatrice of sanctuaries and a respected spiritual mentor.

“This is a beloved book and beyond a book. It is an evocative, poetic, ecstatic, and inspirited sacred, experiential calling. A calling to you--YES, YOU.” 

— Jean Watson, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, FAAN, Living Legend (AAN)

“Those who companion suffering daily need to turn inward to metabolize what they have witnessed. This exquisite book, filled with beautiful images and poetic wise words, is the inspiration and support needed to grow a wise heart.” 

— Frank Ostaseski, founder and director of the Metta Institute and author of The Five Invitations: Discovering What Death Can Teach Us About Living Fully

“In this unique time of the COVID-19 pandemic, this book should be considered a tribute to the tremendous courage being displayed by nurses around the world. There is much wisdom conveyed throughout by those who have been there serving others with such grace.” 

— Greg Schneider President, HVA, co-author of The Changing Face of Hospice Volunteering in Hospice and Palliative Care
