Concerning the Economy and caring for your elder family member, I think it would make sense to mention on this program - In Home Wakes - and the importance of this rising movement towards bringing funerals back to the home.  It brings incredible closure to the process of death and dying of a family memeber, and it saves thousands of dollars.  For more information about this go to:  http://www.spiraloflife.org/home.html    I'm a psychotherapist and have talked with Pat Sweeney and it is truly amazing what is happening with legislation regarding blocking this movement towards a more organic, economic dying process.  If not on this show, I think it would be invaluable to bring up this topic in a future conversation, because this is happening right now in Oregon.
