  • What you Should Know About the Messy Middle of Life Limiting Illnesses

    What you Should Know About the Messy Middle of Life Limiting Illnesses
    Dec 28 2023
    We live longer but our capacity is diminishing and in practical care giving it’s not always clear who is making the decisions from day-to-day. As a financial advisor, I work with clients everyday who live in the gray space with their loved ones.  This is the messy middle, where caring for those who are perfectly capable one day but then slowly diminishing the next is a confounding effort. I am always encountering professionals who enlighten me to better ways to navigate what I call the scary “C”s, caregiving, confusion, chaos, and capacity. – Michelle Hipskind, CFP® In this insightful episode of EmpowHER, host Michelle Hipskind welcomes Leslie Friedel, CEO of Stillwater Hospice, for an engaging conversation on how palliative care and grief support can help bring dignity, clarity, and legitimacy to this messy middle. About our guest, Leslie Friedel: With more than 16 years of experience in nonprofit healthcare leadership, Leslie brings a wealth of knowledge to the discussion. She holds a bachelor’s and master’s in social work from the University of Saint Francis and Indiana University, respectively. A licensed health facility administrator and social worker, Leslie is deeply involved in the community, serving as board chair of the Indiana University Fort Wayne School of Medicine, treasurer of the Indiana Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, and secretary of the Alliance for Human Services. Join us as Leslie shares her passion for healthcare innovation and her commitment to serving the 12-county region in northeast Indiana through Stillwater Hospice’s vital services.
