| PracticalWisdom | G8 1. MT @nmillaz: Topic today is language. Im a student of words and how we use (and misuse) them & how they affect our reactions. #dwdchat | |
| MarksPhone | Acouple of things I see here. The context of the patient, acceptance, culture etc & stage of dx where are they that shapes language #dwdchat | |
| WaywardChad | RT @nmillaz: So T1: Can how we say what we say about death and dying make a difference? #dwdchat | |
| nursefriendly | It is al in the perception of the receiver RT @nmillaz: So T1: Can how we say what we say about death and dying make a difference? #dwdchat | |
| DeathwDignity | T1: Think speaking in euphemisms about death and dying can build a wall to separate us from the reality of the situation. #DWDchat | |
| nmillaz | Yes, CONTEXT! MT @MarksPhone: The context of the patient, acceptance, culture etc & stage of dx where are they that shapes language #dwdchat | |
| PracticalWisdom | T1: To help with Acceptance & take fear away from children let's use Plain speak= as @colleen_young reminds us. Person died. #dwdchat | |
| devidaj | T1: It sure can. It impacts how pt perceives should act/behave based on words docs/fam use. Battle/fight cancer, etc. #dwdchat | |
| MarksPhone | One of the points to make is about the inverse of death. The life of those left behind & how one effects the other #dwdchat | |
| SrCareCorner | being comfortable with expressing self makes more convo about it RT @nmillaz: what we say about death and dying make a difference? #DWDChat | |
| nmillaz | But isn't it 2-way? MT @nursefriendly: All in the perception of the receiver #dwdchat | |
| nursefriendly | T1 Some #euphemisms #cliches about #death, #dying #endoflife are better received than others. Huge cultural factor #dwdchat | |
| devidaj | MT @DeathwDignity: T1: Speaking in euphemisms about death & dying can build wall to separate us from the reality of the situation. #dwdchat | |
| PracticalWisdom | MT @DeathwDignity: T1: speaking in euphemisms re: death & dying can build a wall to separate us from the reality of the situation. #dwdchat | |
| WaywardChad | T1: I think the biggest way to make a difference is to not speak in euphemisms -- they shield us from what's really happening. #dwdchat | |
| DeathwDignity | @PracticalWisdom Helps avoid confusion too. #DWDchat | |
| PracticalWisdom | MT @SrCareCorner: comfortable w/ expressing self= (+) convo re it RT @nmillaz: what we say about death and dying make a difference? #dwdchat | |

| devidaj | MT @WaywardChad: T1: Think biggest way to make difference is to not speak in euphemisms-they shield us from whats really happening. #dwdchat | |
| nursefriendly | T1 It is similar to humor, what is comical to one, may have exactly the opposite effect on another - often unexpectedly #dwdchat | |
| WaywardChad | T1 cont. I know that when one of my friends has a loved one who dies, I always say I'm sorry that they died or for their death. #dwdchat | |
| PracticalWisdom | When folks say "They passed on" even at my age I ALWAYS want to say "Where did they go?" @DeathwDignity #dwdchat | |
| nmillaz | But w/o can seem harsh? MT @WaywardChad: T1: make a difference - not speak in euphemisms -- they shield us from whats happening. #dwdchat | |
| DeathwDignity | MT @WaywardChad: T1: Biggest way to make a difference is to not speak in euphemisms -- they shield us from whats really happening. #DWDchat | |
| WaywardChad | I think the plain, unvarnished word is important. Like @DeathwDignity and @PracticalWisdom said -- loses the possible confusion. #dwdchat | |
| nursefriendly | T1 Have often had #doctors #nurses #family members and #patients misinterpret my message, need to rephrase it. #dwdchat | |
| NatriceR | yes“@MarksPhone:!One of the points to make is about the inverse of death.The life of those left behind & how one effects the other #dwdchat” | |

| PracticalWisdom | MT @WaywardChad: T1 cont. When 1 of my friends has a loved one who dies, I always say Im sorry that they died or for their death. #dwdchat | |
| MarksPhone | @WaywardChad I agree but the goal of the language at that moment in time is? acceptance decisions plans etc chose w/that in mind #dwdchat | |
| anetto | I hear people say "I'm sorry for your loss" most often. That is dignified and not evasive but that is at a funeral #dwdchat | |
| NatriceR | RT @PracticalWisdom: When folks say "They passed on" even at my age I ALWAYS want to say "Where did they go?" @DeathwDignity #dwdchat | |
| SrCareCorner | def cultural + family dynamics (what's acceptable talk) @nursefriendly T1 have exactly opposite effect on another - unexpectedly #DWDChat | |
| nmillaz | Perhaps something else can soften it? RT @WaywardChad: I think the plain, unvarnished word is important. #dwdchat | |
| NatriceR | RT @nursefriendly: T1 Have often had #doctors #nurses #family members and #patients misinterpret my message, need to rephrase it. #dwdchat | |
| PracticalWisdom | T1: i can't remember the exact way Death was explained but remember child was scared they would also die. Confusing. @WaywardChad #dwdchat | |
| nursefriendly | @DeathwDignity T1 Yes, like using #Gallows humor it is a coping mechanism we need to insulate ourselves from situations #DWDchat | |

| WaywardChad | Doesn't have to sound harsh. still express sympathy while acknowledging what you're sorry for. RT @nmillaz: But w/o can seem harsh? #dwdchat | |

| SrCareCorner | true RT @devidaj: So theres several sides to the coin: patient, family, docs. All have varying degrees of comfort w/ subject. #DWDChat | |

| DeathwDignity | @NatriceR We'll catch ya next time! Thanks for stopping in during your busy day. #DWDchat | |

| SrCareCorner | RT @PracticalWisdom: T1: Think also that sometimes words loss impact when we see body language. Sorrowful eyes, tearing up. #DWDChat | |

| DeathwDignity | Reminds me of 'passed on'...what? passed on rice at dinner? RT @nmillaz "i didn't lose him, I know right where he is!!" #DWDchat | |
| nursefriendly | Any good presenter must "read" their audience. RT @nmillaz: @nursefriendly By 2-way I mean, speaker's perceptions as well as hearer #dwdchat | |
| anetto | @nmillaz I agree - you know where they are! I feel awkward and unsure of the "right" way to discuss with non-family #dwdchat | |
| KathyKastner | #DWDchat friend's mom kept vigil on dying dad, who'd open his eye and say: shuttle's not leaving yet. | |
| darkleydarkley | #dwdchat most difficult thing I've experienc'd is a complete lack of language/acknowledgement. can't express feelings about my imm death | |
| PracticalWisdom | @KathyKastner Neighbor died~we were there when DR. told family. She was about 8 busted Crying I knew not to touch~I got evil eye #dwdchat | |
| nmillaz | @nursefriendly Still missing my point: you have to read your own feelings too! #dwdchat | |
| WaywardChad | RT DeathwDignity Reminds me of 'passed on'...what? passed on rice at dinner? RT @nmillaz "didn't lose him, know right where he is!" #dwdchat | |
| nursefriendly | Is an Art RT @devidaj:So there's several sides to the coin: patient, family, docs. All have varying degrees of comfort w/ subject. #dwdchat | |
| anetto | RT @KathyKastner: #DWDchat friends mom kept vigil on dying dad, whod open his eye and say: shuttles not leaving yet. #dwdchat | |
| devidaj | Having a few family members who've died, I find I'm ok w/ how others need to talk about it. Loss for me is accurate. They're gone. #dwdchat | |
| PracticalWisdom | @anetto When I hear "Sorry for your Loss" sounds kinda cold Like "Let's do Lunch." #dwdchat | |
| darkleydarkley | #DWDChat iow, basic avoidance of the topic all together. I'd be thrilled to hear some euphamisms!! ;) | |
| nursefriendly | @devidaj There are few "roadmaps" to discussing #EndOfLife, it comes through experience, trial & error :( #dwdchat | |
| nmillaz | Very hard! RT @darkleydarkley: most difficult Ive experiencd is a complete lack of language. cant express feelings about imm death #dwdchat | |

| anetto | @PracticalWisdom Even in your picture you look like a warm person who hugs. I have trouble doing that easily #dwdchat | |
| SrCareCorner | better than silence RT @darkleydarkley: #DWDChat basic avoidance of topic all together.Id be thrilled to hear some euphamisms!! ;) #DWDChat | |
| DeathwDignity | T1: I'm a very plain-speaker & have only become more so since working here. Personally, speaking around topic doesn't ease sorrow. #DWDchat | |
| nmillaz | So T2: Will word changes affect how we act re: living and dying (ie healthier choices, preventive care, ADs, eol planning)? #dwdchat | |
| PracticalWisdom | @nursefriendly Andrew have you had a chance to read @Devidaj Blog with @deathwdignity. DeVida you also work with @deathwdignity? #dwdchat | |
| WaywardChad | Or "I'm sorry I stepped on your foot." @PracticalWisdom: When I hear "Sorry for your Loss" sounds kinda cold Like "Let's do Lunch." #dwdchat | |

| nursefriendly | Yes :( RT @darkleydarkley: #dwdchat When I hear "how brave" I feel it's their way of telling me they're scared for me and for themselves. | |
| nursefriendly | RT @nmillaz: My final thoughts: how we say what we say about dying and death can influence how people feel and act. #dwdchat | |
| WaywardChad | RT @PracticalWisdom: Final Thought: Lets continue to use the words: Death, Dying, Death with Dignity, Hugs if they say Yes. #dwdchat | |
