Art of Ascension

Primary Author: Eileen Dunn, warmy eileen

Every death is unique. While the emotional and spiritual needs of the families undergoing this process are undoubtedly complex, the language of energy helps to bring a universal understanding to the sacred process of dying. Guided by a map of the chakras, you will learn to recognize the physical stages of a spiritual transition, establishing the connection between the family and the dying individual. Through the complementary tools of massage, aromatherapy, music, and visualization, you create a sacred space for the dying.

Through self-reflection, the reader begins to explore his or her own inner world and beliefs. As healers, we are truly sacred messengers, journeying with our patients between the earthly and spiritual realms.

Closure

Primary Author: Jonathan Weinkle, Jewish Healthcare Foundation

Closure is an initiative to change expectations for end-of-life. Our goal is to empower consumers and healthcare professionals with easy-to-access, simple-to-understand information and resources to make educated decisions about end-of-life care. The Closure website includes blogs, listings of resources, news items, and the Closure 101 curriculum.
Closure 101 is a curriculum of educational lessons dealing with an array of complex end-of-life issues including prognosis, advance planning, medical decision making, and hospice and palliative care. These difficult concepts are explained in a way that is designed to make sense to consumers. The curriculum contains 12 easy-to-follow lessons that can be viewed online or used by health educators to teach in-person. In addition to the lessons, the site contains questionnaires and information sheets that can help guide a person through the decision-making process. Guidelines for creating a Closure 101 program are available on the site.
