This week we interview Pittsburgh-based trauma therapist Casey Swartz.  Casey shares her thoughts on what we are all experiencing during the Covid pandemic.  You can find Casey’s hilarious Instagram: @caseyswartzlpc

Here’s the Huffington Post article that quotes Casey: “For Those Who Lost Someone To COVID, There Is No 'Returning To Normal'”

Welcome to the second half of our minisode on end-of-life advance planning!  There was so much to talk about when it came to planning our own funerals that we broke this into two episodes.  

This is the funeral planning questionnaire we refer to in this episode:

This week we interview Amy Weisgerber, the In-House Coordinator from CORE (Center for Organ Recovery and Education). CORE is one of 57 federally designated not-for-profit organ procurement organizations (OPOs) in the United States. CORE partners with more than 150 hospitals and health care facilities to deliver the gift of life by coordinating the surgical recovery of organs, tissues and corneas for transplantation. CORE also facilitates the computerized matching of donated organs, tissues and corneas. www.core.org

We hope you will consider being an organ donor too!
