Even in healthcare settings, death is (understandably) really uncomfortable to talk about. Most of us don’t want to think about our own death, let alone that of our loved ones. It’s hard– but that’s what makes these conversations so important to have in advance.
End of life care can be very stressful for both patients and families. Having conversations about wishes for end of life care now can make this difficult time a little less stressful later. With the current pandemic, a lot of people aren’t even able to have their family around them, which I think we can all agree sounds even more difficult.
Care for Terminally Ill Patients
One of the most important things you can do, even if you are healthy right now, is to fill out advance directives. You can find New York’s here, and every other state’s here. 
These forms basically document your wishes about end of life care– what you would want in the event you can’t speak for yourself, who can make decisions about your healthcare, etc. While it can be really hard to fill these out and think about a time when they might need to be used, completing them and knowing that neither yourself or your family will be burdened with stressful decision-making is worth taking the time.
When patients are in the last few months of life, hospice is one of the options available to them. In Albany, the Community Hospice provides hospice services to patients at home, in nursing facilities, and also in St. Peter’s hospital at the Hospice Inn.
Visiting Angels is another option for in-home care, especially for people who want to remain as independent as possible. 
You can schedule visits and create a care plan to help with daily activities, providing company, and helping with meals and medications.
There are a couple more end of life care options that I have listed on a separate post here.
Supporting Caregivers
Caregiver burden can really affect the health of family caregivers and also patients. It’s important that caregivers get the support and relief they need when caring for a loved one– here are some resources in Albany for caregiver support, including a support group. Having been a caregiver myself, I know it can be really relieving to talk to people that have or are experiencing similar stresses.
Caregiving during a pandemic can be even more difficult– the CDC has listed some helpful tips for caregiving at this time to try and prepare for staying at home for a longer period of time. If you are caregiving for someone, it’s important to check in with yourself from time to time and recognize when you need a break. It can be really hard to ask for help, but doing it all alone also gets really overwhelming really fast. On the other hand, if you know someone that is a caregiver, make sure you take some time to ask them if they need anything (picking up medications, groceries) and what you can do to help.
While end of life care has always been a part of healthcare, I think this pandemic has increased awareness of its importance and brought it to everyone’s attention a little more. These conversations and experiences will always be difficult, but thankfully there are some resources that can help make sure patients and families receive support as they go through it.

The fishing lures that with metallic texture are very helpful to catch fish, because they are similar to bait fish that flash. The spinner baits with metal flake represent a group of small fish. The biggest advantage of the metal flake spinner baits is that they can attract the fish from a long distance by flashing. Metal flask spinner baits and spoon baits work great, especially in sunny days. http://www.plusinno.com

Maple is a hardwood that is also very strong and durable, making it a good choice for an electric skateboard. However, maple is also a very heavy wood, making your skateboard slower and more difficult to maneuver. jkingboard.com

The deck is made of sturdy Canadian maple material and the Jupiter-02 uses smart PVC pellets on top of the deck instead of regular grip tape. This provides all the benefits of regular grip tape, but eliminates the annoyance of nasty scratches on your arms and clothing while carrying. There isn’t much flex in the deck, so this electric skateboard performs best in good road conditions. jkingboard.com

The car in the stamp was actually an electric car serving as a taxi at the early stage, with a speed of 40 kilometers per hour. It can travel approximately 120 kilometers on a single charge. In the car are the driver and the representative from the taxi company.Although electric cars at that time dad already traveled around the city like New York and Washington. But in the early 20 century, there were steam, gasoline, and electric cars.So why was the electric car chosen as the image of these Commemorative Stamps？Well, because among all these, electric cars were the most advanced without noise, violent vibration, and smelly scent. In another word, electric cars in the US recorded the world’s advancement.And what makes the stamps special is that they are one of the first which used two colors overprinting (Overprint is when one color object overlaps another and is normally only used for special effects within a design).Now, you can only get them from stamp dealers.Antique Automobiles (1995)In 1995, a set of 5us postage stampsnamed Antique Automobiles were issued, including different types of cars, even covering the earliest gasoline vehicle – DURYEA.

Also at banks and ATMs.”You can use an ATM or debit card to buy stamps at ATM. The money is deducted from your bank account and the machine gives you the stamps in addition to or instead of cash.

Even better, even if you do not bank with a company that has ATM, you can often buy stamps at ATM.ATMs are usually available 24/7 on a self-service basis and are one of the most convenient places to buy stamps.However, there is a fee for purchasing stamps at ATMs. Not necessarily for all, but for most cases you will have to leave a small tip.Even at ATMs, where banks claim there is no fee, you may have to pay a second fee for stamps if you buy them from an ATM outside the network.Also, not all ATMs sell stamps, so you need to find out where in your area ATM you can buy stamps before you leave, or you could easily make a trip for nothing.Some banks have information on their websites about whether their ATM can sell stamps.

Plenty of barns in America have different types, which serve other purposes. They are many types of barns, like apple barns, round barns, English barns（U.S.), and so on.According to the description of USPS, the artist created four types of iconic barns in the rural American landscape. Each one symbolizes one of the four seasons. For example, the round barn with hazy light shining under the warm atmosphere reflects the fall. The forebay barn with green background is in spring.

If you’re new to the world of tattooing, you may be wondering what a coil tattoo machine is. Simply put, a coil tattoo machine is a type of tattoo machine that uses coils to create the tattooing effect.There are two main types of coil machines: single-coil machines and dual-coil machines. Single-coil machines use one coil to create the tattooing effect, while dual-coil machines use two coils. Coil machines are generally considered to be more powerful than rotary tattoo machines, which is why they’re often the preferred choice for professional tattoo artists. However, they can also be more difficult to master, so if you’re a beginner, you may want to start with a rotary machine before moving on to a coil machine. http://www.cnitattoo.com

In the early days of snow boots, they were made from reindeer skin and were designed to keep the feet warm in cold climates. The first modern snow boot was invented in the late 19th century by a French doctor who wanted to create a boot that would be both comfortable and effective in cold weather. Today, snow boots are made from various materials, including synthetic fabrics, and are available in various styles to suit different needs. hobibear.com
