@kunalmodi new to this space. Looking to learning more. What resource do you use to track how SF is utilizing Medicaid reimbursable homeless services under CalAIM?
Typos can impart so many lessons; humility, perseverance, resourcefulness, grit, forgiveness and growth to mention a few.
An #endoflife one can be proud of is proceeded by work done well and a life well-lived.

Openness about #endoflife nurtures empathy and understanding that makes us better colleagues and leaders. Death "will be there while you’re working, it will be there when you’re done."
As an active job seeker this platform is a key tool and helpful community to find jobs and discuss work. Reflecting on mortality here makes us better humans and better at our jobs.
"one of the worst things we could do is get used to death, treat it as unremarkable or as anything other than a loss," from Susanna Siegel, in "How Death Shapes Life" helps put current headlines in perspective.
I consider the backside of my birth certificate an invisible death certificate with the date field blank and that doesn't require a signature...yet.
There is so much activity in the death aware/positive community. I hope to add to it - hosting my first death cafe May 13 in Berkeley, California. @DeathCafe
As @LifeDeathGrief's #DemystifyingDeathWeek segues into @DyingMatters #DyingMattersWeek, here's a video from Ireland: @TEDxDunLaoghair Youth meeting.
"Who do you want to thank?
To make peace with?
Who needs to know you love them?
Make that your homework."

Death Cafe - where people, often strangers, gather to discuss death.

When: Saturday May 13, 2023 - 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM
Where: Community Meeting Room in West Branch Berkeley Public Library 1125 University Ave. (at San Pablo) Berkeley, CA 94702
I'm hosting a Death Cafe. Why?
The gift of witnessing parents take their last breath a decade apart
The gift of scattering their ashes with siblings at a special location
A desire to continue the conversation.

My parents shared their wishes and the 5 adult siblings fulfilled those wishes with tears and warm hearts. Now we openly discuss our own plans and locations where we want our ashes scattered, as if we are planning an exotic vacation for our remains.
Beautiful title. And perfectly timed for me right now. Yes, please and thank you. Will DM you my email.
@LBacaj Appreciate that breakdown. And your comment, "If it were me, I’d even go back to working at a restaurant if I had to on the weekends." is exactly what I did in 2009. Happy to find another "cockroach" out there.
A neighbor shared their struggles with #seniororalhealth
Tears instead of smiles trying to access affordable care. The comments are filled with kind support and helpful suggestions. Why is this so hard?
