Thank you for letting me unleash my inner English teacher to clarify these commonly confused terms. Palliative Care and Hospice Care can go together—but they don't have to! And they're not the same.

A wonderful friend surprised me with this Jill Lepore book. Through loosely connected essays that journey along the stages of life, Lepore examines the culture of life and death we've built in America, for all its innovations and all its flaws.

A friend suggested I hold office hours to help folks make financial & healthcare POA forms. Ask and ye shall receive, Louisville. Let's try this in January and see how it goes! New year, new opportunities to prepare for death.

Got a question about whether you need to wait until your parents are dead to buy this book, and the answer is NO, it’s great for getting a sense of what you need to know before it’s an emergency! Also there’s a chapter on what to bully your parents into doing if they’re not yet dead
Happy pub day to @deadparentswhatnow.com! Losing a parent is one of the hardest things we’ll almost all have to do—this book helps you tackle the logistics of probate, burial, clearing out houses, & more, with the warmth and humor you actually want at a tough time (or when planning for tough times)

If you live in Puerto Rico, you don't have a small estate limit. You're stuck going to probate court regardless of estate size. Don't shoot the messenger.

If you live in Washington, D.C., you may be able to submit a small estate affidavit or use summary probate if your estate is worth less than $40,000. Search your county + "small estate" online.
