Yankee Deathcare I’m a board certified chaplain, death midwife, pastoral thanatologist and death educator. No fluff. Just heart.

I support folks as they navigate the sacred work of being mortal...and those facing death. Zoom or other distance guidance and grief counseling available. Services range from resource and support procurement to in home support to grief companionship and more. Every life is different as is every person’s goals for their own death. Each client is an individual and the services will be customized to meet their needs and goals.

This group is frequently recommended by hospitals and hospices that aren't aware of their religious framework because it is cleverly camouflaged on their website.
“Today I came across the following conversation in one of their discussion strings for group leaders (who are peer supporters with no training in bereavement or counseling). Someone asked this question:
"𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 3 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮."
There was nothing in this statement to indicate that this family is Christian. Yet one of the group leaders posted this answer:
.
"𝘖𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘭𝘰𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 & 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦, 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘴? 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮."
I couldn't resist posting this reply::
"𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘴?"
And she answered:
"𝘐𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯’𝘵 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘐 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘺 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘑𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮. 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 (𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦) 𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵."
I share this information with you because I hope you will be aware of this group and its dangers.
I realize that some of you know people who've found support and comfort in GriefShare groups, but I will argue that just as many people have felt manipulated and uncomfortable there. It's a matter of CONSENT to receive religious content.
Please read my recent Substack post about them here:”

Turning to spirituality when facing painful situations is a natural meaning-making process, and the well-known support group GriefShare has helped millions of people, perhaps including some of you.

This is NOT a good development for hospice…private equity extracts profits at all costs, including patient care.

“The Enhabit transaction signals a continued trend of increasing private equity interest in the hospice space over the past several years, Widmar stated. The trend is not anticipated to abate anytime soon, he said. Buyers are garnering greater interest in hospice assets with diverse service lines, particularly in the home health arena, according to Widmar.”

Enhabit Inc. (NYSE: EHAB) has plans to grow its hospice and home health service lines to new levels upon the completion of its recent acquisition by the

“When we medicalize and pathologize grief, we lose sight of what grief actually represents: love, attachment, and the rupture of a meaningful bond,” Thieleman said, in an interview by email. “Bereavement is a universal human experience. We do not grieve those we do not love. Framing grief as a disorder obscures this fundamental reality and recasts a deeply relational experience as an individual pathology.”

Grief has long been understood as a normal and healthy response to loss. However, over the past decade, American psychiatry has rebranded that time of New research finds most bereaved people reject psychiatric grief diagnoses, viewing grief as a normal expression of love rather than mental "illness....

It is important that we don’t put our own choices on our patients and those we serve. This article is a powerful reminder.

A doctor grapples with a patient’s incomprehensible medical decision.
