Community, transformed parents, resilient women, sound baths, no robots for caregiving and building allies for POC patients and caregivers - are all my @endwell endwell18 takeaways. All gifts of grief, of caregiving, of dying well to ending well! Bravo & thank you #endwell18

“Taking your last breath, on your own terms” may just be the most wonderful description of what I think a good death is, if there was any way to crystallise it. Thank you @aliciagarza@twitter.com #EndWell18

Bit of a tension here. Japan has a different perspective on this: older generation (often) prefer them as it allows them to remain autonomous, at home without being a burden on family. It’s not a binary choice I think #EndWell18

“Kai fu, can robots take over for nursing... no. We should train more people in jobs of compassion. Robots don’t have the capabilities and users don’t want them.”

US needs 2.3 million healthcare workers. We’ll need more people to care for people. Those jobs are growing, but tractor drivers are paid more than carers. We need to reconfigure our society to make care better paid, and of higher value #EndWell18

Agency and control are important factors to feel ownership and investment in an experience. #endwell18

Ah, this classic: We consistently remember the peak experience (good or bad) and the last experience. #EndWell18

Doing things in the open, transparently, like Boston marking its unfinished/finished potholes, increases trust in Government. #EndWell18

Experimental results show VR “aging” increases personal savings or other empathic behavior over role playing, etc RT @ivorinfo@twitter.com: Whoa. “What would happen if you met your future self? And how would you plan for that person?” @StanfordVR #EndWell18

We are rapidly losing our sense of commonality in this country. Grief cuts through all that. In grief, all of our differences are lost. And we are not alone in our grief. @RebeccaSoffer #EndWell18 @ModernLoss

For those delving into linguistics, Windrum's Matrix of Dying Terms (a work of citizen thanatology) introduces 17 names for every dying situation ahead of (and behind) us, expressing the whole as our Dying Territory. #EndWell18

“I might have lost my parents, but I found my people” loss is so much of who we are as a society, to hear it presented as a real, powerful, positive force is so good. #endwell18

People are more likely to believe things if they sound poetic & familiar. Same thing said 2 diff ways, people are more likely to believe the poetic one to be true. Alliteration, rhyme. Our words matter. @IraByock @operativewords #endwell18

“Institutionally, we use language that restricts what is possible. If we draw on normative language, we can help it can provide a more expanse, inviting context to allow that person to have a positive [end of life] experience” Well said @operativewords w/@IraByock. #EndWell18
