In this week’s episode, Saul and Joe talk remotely with Janine Folks who works as a chaplain with Seasons Hospice in Detroit, MI. Janine began her chaplaincy journey with a pediatric hospice where she was instrumental in helping the families of dying children process grief. In this episode, she shares her remarkable life journey and professional transition to Hospice Chaplaincy.
Her book addresses topics that family, friends, and loved ones often shy away from – what will happen in the final days or weeks before we die? Our society is programmed to ignore death until it’s right at our door, but experienced hospice nurse Beth Cavenaugh wants us to be prepared and know our options so that our final days on Earth can be filled with peace, comfort and love, rather than worry and fatigue.

When not raising her four awesome kids, she can most often be found drinking tea in her tiny temple shed at the bottom of her garden in Birmingham.
In 2019 she published her first book – Moon Wise. An exploration of living life in tune with your Natal Moon Cycle.
In 2016 Jason answered the call to chaplaincy and began pursuing the needed education and qualifications. He has worked both as a hospital and hospice chaplain. He is currently the full-time chaplain for Hospice of Southwest Georgia. He is also the Lead Minister for Cornerstone Church of Christ.
Give A Mile is a nonprofit organization that provides flights for those that cannot afford to fly to be with a loved one who is palliative or critically ill. They have just expanded to the U.S. and would love to get connected to families that need their flights.
The Founder, Kevin Crowe experienced this power first-hand during the passing of his good friend Ryan who relished such visits. Once Kevin learned through Kulacauses.com that over 10 trillion air miles went unused in 2011 alone, Give A Mile was born.
Here is how the Give A Mile process works.
• You will need an email confirming the medical situation from a nurse, doctor, social worker, or chaplain.
• You will need to fill in an application for each person requesting a flight. Please make sure the info on the applications is accurate as Give A Mile uses this to book the flights (video is optional). You can fill out the attached application or do it via the web link https://Request.giveamile.org
• Give A Mile will need the attached waiver signed and sent back by the person flying
• Once Give A Mile have your application and waiver, they will take it to the flight review team for approval. If approved they will connect you to the person that books their flights and she will coordinate with you. If an emergency flight, Give A Mile usually can get it turned around in 4 hours once they have all the required documents.

With her background in traumatic brain injury, mental illness, elder law and disability law, Ms. Cornish brings a distinctive set of abilities to her work with dementia and Alzheimer’s.
In 2010 Ms. Cornish founded the Dementia & Alzheimer’s Wellbeing Network (DAWN®) in Moscow, Idaho. Through her hands-on work with dementia, she developed a proprietary method for working with people who have dementia—one that helps them develop and retain a sense of security and wellbeing. The DAWN Method® is simple enough to be used by caregivers in the home and works in care facilities as well. It targets the emotional distress that accompanies cognitive decline so that behaviors are avoided and caregiver stress is minimized.
Today the DAWN Method is in use with seniors in Northern Idaho and Eastern Washington, using a two-tiered care system of case managers and dementia care specialists. Ms. Cornish provides training in the DAWN method and consults with families in the Northern Idaho and Eastern Washington region.
