New post on #thanatography! How can the Trump administration affect #endoflife care for #immigrants, #lbgtq people and others affected by #death (spoiler: everyone)? "Death is the great equalizer and dying well is a right that should be afforded to everyone whenever possible* regardless of sex, gender, creed, orientation, race, citizenship and religious beliefs. Having your loved ones at your bedside is a big part of dying well. An administration that doesn't recognize the rights of same-sex couples can hinder that, for example, and changes to health care could affect someone's ability to get proper hospice care."
