SUMMARY:Orange County Death Cafe DEC 17 2025
DESCRIPTION:I’m really missing Anne\, our scribe\, but here’s a few things of note: \n\n\n\n-First item discussed was the morphine shortage in this country (and actually around the world) and how that will surely affect patients under hospice care. \n\n\n\n-The Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) bill was recently signed off by Governor Hochul in New York. \n\n\n\n-We talked about the difference between PALLIATIVE and HOSPICE care.  With the former\, a patient is still allowed to be undergoing treatment while not seeking a cure.   \n\n\n\n-Books discussed/recommended:  “The VSED Handbook” by Kate Christie; “Remarkably Bright Creatures” by Shelby Van Pelt. \n\n\n\n-Resources:  MOST form (obtain from your doctor); compassionandchoices.org website \n\n\n\n-National Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day is Sunday\, December 21st.  There will be a service in Chapel Hill at the old police station.  Details here:  https://www.thechapelofthecross.org/orange-county-homeless-memorial-vigil/ \n\n\n\n-Quote of the day:  “Love is inconvenient.”  (from Victor Sweeney’s book\, “Now Departing”). \n\n\n\nNext Orange County Death Cafe:  Wednesday\, January 21st\, 2026  6:00pm \n\n\n\n\nSara Williams
