Happy Independence Day! Here’s hoping we all have a chance to appreciate the freedoms we enjoy – and to show our gratitude to the veterans and current members of our armed forces who've made them possible. #IndependenceDay #4thofJuly

A fascinating article in the Democrat-Gazette last week about a terminally ill man whose voice was recreated with artificial intelligence, so his wife can interact with it after he dies? As the story's author puts it, “While some have embraced this technology as a way to cope with grief, others feel uneasy about companies using artificial intelligence to try to maintain interactions with those who have passed away. Still others worry it could make the mourning process more difficult because there isn't any closure.” To read more, please click below or visit https://lnkd.in/gW_MVYKr

Congratulations to our own volunteer coordinator, Sarah Hagerman!

“Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory or an acceptance of the way things are. It’s a celebration of progress. It’s an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible—and there is still so much work to do.” — Barack Obama Change comes with understanding. As we observe Juneteenth, Arkansas Hospice's Family of Care celebrates the progress that has been made and provides resources for you to learn more about the opportunities for greater equality in healthcare in African American communities. To learn about Arkansas Hospice’s Faith, Hospice, Love outreach program, which aims to demystify hospice and palliative care within the Black community via education and informational resources, please visit https://lnkd.in/ghGTUZcQ. #Juneteenth

Dolly Parton is talented, intelligent AND beautiful. Most of us can only aspire to be like Dolly in one small way. ALL of us can be like Dolly in this important way— death preparation. Demonstrate your love for those you will leave behind by doing comprehensive end-of-life preparation. Please, please, please. My beloved late husband and I did his while he was sick and I still feel his love for me in all the ways our preparation made his death easier on me. #deathprepislove #deathpreparedness #deathprepisintimacy #deathcafe #deathworker
