33. Caring For Aging Parents (with Danny Jones)

Aging Angst Alleluias

There’s a lot we can learn from the palliative care movement: it considers death as meaningful and dying as a stage of life to be valued, supported and lived. Welcoming mortality might actually help us live better lives and support communities — rather than relying on medical systems — to care for people at the end of their lives. And if you're new to the Aging Angst and Alleluias Podcast, be introduced to one of the most compassionate experts on aging and carepartnering in Middle Tennessee - host, Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly.

Mary Anne's guest is Danny Jones, a 24-year veteran in Gospel Music and publisher and Editor in Chief of Singing News. During his tenure he has authored five barely successful books (his words!) that offer inside (and often humorous) looks at the world of Southern Gospel music. He is also the host of the 'Danny's Diary' podcast (www.singingnews.com/dannysdiary) and and also heard on Singing News Radio from 6 p.m. to midnight (CST) on Sunday nights.

Discussed on this episode will include Danny's role as 'only son' to care for his aging parents, and more specifically his end-of-life journey with his mother in her final days. A compassionate, humorous and informative dialogue between Mary Anne and Danny is what makes this such a great listen.
