And Alex, who do we have with us today?
Alex Smith 0:56
Today we are delighted to welcome Wendy McNaughton, who is trained as a social worker and is an author, an illustrator, an author of How to Say Goodbye, a book of visual journalism. She has a TED Talk. She launched these draw together groups for kids, for adults, for strangers. And she has a sub stack draw together with Wendy Mack that you can find and join and is co-founder of Women Who Draw. Wendy, welcome to the Jerry Powell podcast.
Wendy MacNaughton 1:26
Really happy to be here. Thanks for having me.
Alex Smith 1:29
and we're delighted to welcome Frank Ostaseski, founding director of Zen Hospice Project, a Buddhist teacher, founder of the Metta Institute, recipient of the Humanities Award for AHPM in 2018, and author of The Five Innovations, Discovering What Death Can Teach Us About Living Fully, something that we hope to talk about today. Frank, welcome to the Jerry Pal podcast.
Frank Ostaseski 1:52
Nice to be here with you all. Great to be here. Invitations, five invitations.
Alex Smith 1:57
Five invitations. Five invitations. Lingxing Li is a geriatrics and palliative care doc and illustrator and is currently a T32 research fellow at UCSF. You can find her illustrations online at her Twitter account, particularly those about the anti-Asian hate study that we did recently and had a podcast about, as well as in Annals of Internal Medicine. She has illustrations of clinician moral distress and coping. Lingxing, welcome back to Jerry Pal.
Lingsheng Li 2:26
It's so nice to be here. Thank you, Alex.
Alex Smith 2:28
And Ling Xing will be kind of a guest host today.
Eric Widera 2:31
A little bit of both. I got some questions for Ling Xing. But before we jump into the topic at hand, which I think we're calling images of the dying, maybe illustrations, maybe drawing. We'll get into that. We'll get into all that. I got questions. Somebody has a song request. Ling Xing, is it you?
Lingsheng Li 2:47
It's me again. And the song we have today is Photograph by Ed Sheeran.
Eric Widera 2:52
Why did you pick Photograph by Ed Sheeran?
Lingsheng Li 2:55
It's a beautiful song. And the reason why we chose it is really inspired by Wendy and Frank's work, thinking about how images, photos can really be a way to preserve the memories of those we love, whether they're present with us or not. And also just thinking about the big picture of what it's important to show love to each other. And it's hard and it hurts sometimes, but it's one of the best things that we can do for another person. I
Eric Widera 3:21
got another question. Are you an Ed Sheeran fan?
Lingsheng Li 3:24
I would say
Eric Widera 3:24
yes. Oh, yeah?
Yes.
Eric Widera 3:27
I just saw him play at Bottle Rock. He was with the Offspring. So I heard him play with the Offspring. If anybody knows what that is. Sounds
Alex Smith 3:35
like a good show.
Eric Widera 3:36
Alex, you want to take it away?

Lingsheng Li 4:06
thing
Unknown 4:06
that I know When it gets hard You know it gets hard sometimes It is the only thing that makes us feel alive We keep this love in a photograph We make these memories for ourselves Where our eyes are never closing Our hearts were never broken And time's forever frozen still So you can keep me Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans Holding me closer till our eyes meet You won't ever be
