VAD Foster's compassion, community, communication, and better end of life and death outcomes.

Don't believe the religious hysterical hype - VAD is opt-in and offers genuine choice for those who meet the criteria.

Advocacy and support from non-medical workers - like end of life doulas - can make the process even smoother for everyone involved. Got questions? I'm here to help.

Thank you BC, you were fabulous!

FUI - this is what I look like when I've been awake for a day and a half with only an hour and a half of sleep.

And my flight from Sydney to Launceston isn't for several hours yet. yay...

Wondering how end of life doulas and compassionate community work intersects to benefit carers and support networks? Or if disability and long-term care from home could be improved?

I gave a presentation at Douglas College in New Westminster BC today on end of life doulas and assisted dying as part of a virtual conference.

Thanks go to the brilliant cabaret artist Reuben Kaye for a pivotal quote I included in this talk (from his recent 'Live and Intimidating' show): "Nothing hates like Christian love". The perfect encapsulation of hysterical and fallacious opposition to VAD.

A fascinating day with international contributors. Thank you to the End of Life Doula Association of Canada and Douglas College.

Let's change a toxic and exclusionary practice that is rife in the language of end of life work: "walking".

Based on a quote by Californian man Ram Dass ("we're all just walking each other home"), western - predominantly white - EOL doulas, volunteers, speakers and therapists repeat this phrase like a chant. However, it is unnecessarily ableist, and therefore exclusion, in nature. Because not everyone walks, ambulates, or has control over muscle and locomotion in life - and none of us are up and around when we are dying.

Using "walk" or "walking" instead of words that indicate a role of accompanying or companioning the dying makes invisible people with disabilities, who are already marginalised. Disabled carers and those close to a dying person are also excluded when phrases of this kind are employed. Let's do better.

What words and phrases could you use instead of discriminating against disabled people?

Published 14 months ago, my Mallon Model article has been downloaded over 2,600 times! This is an incredible achievement for original, independent research and I am incredibly chuffed.

This tells me that the demand for simple, effective ways to support home-based care without carer burnout is genuine - and I am so proud to be helping to make this a reality. Disability care, long-term rehabilitation, and home-based end of life and death can all be made safer and easier with this model. Share widely if you can. ☺️

I drove to Hobart and back today for an end of life doula-specific information session about Voluntary Assisted Dying in Tasmania, run by the fabulous VAD committee.

A brilliant morning of information capped by the discovery that THERE ARE PENGUINS FROLICKING AT THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING!!

Stay tuned for upcoming information sessions in 2023.
