*Updated* List of Hospice & Palliative Medicine Blogs (Current & Inactive)
**Updated 03/15/2011**
There has been a lot of new blogs since I last posted a list of hospice and palliative medicine blogs back in January 2009. So here is the updated list with a few more categories to help you better see the big picture. I have separated the main list into active and inactive to better help you know where the current info is. But don't skip the inactive blogs, because you will find some good writing there too. Leave a comment at the inactive blogs and maybe they will start writing again.
I also made a wish list of blogs I would like to see someday to maybe spur some action.
So when are you starting your blog?

Appreciate the list - some great hidden gems in there!
I'm a pharmacist who works in an Outpatient Pain and Palliative Care Clinic.
I have in the last couple of months developed a blog for Oncology Pharmacists but will definitely be doing pain/symptom/palliative type articles moving forward.
http://onco-prn.blogspot.com
I have RSS feeds which update daily to various sources including palliative med. journals. I also have links to other blogs including this one!
Keep up the great work.

I'm a long-time follower of Pallimed -- I've learned so much from you, including the value of using Twitter and blogging. Thank you!
I'm also a bereavement counselor with Hospice of the Valley in Phoenix, AZ and moderator of its online Grief Healing Discussion Groups, http://www.hovforum.ipbhost.com.
Please add to your list my newly launched Grief Healing Blog, offering useful information about loss, grief and transition, for the bereaved and those who care for them: http://www.griefhealingblog.blogspot.com/
Gratefully, Marty Tousley

Thank You Christian for ALL you do in the advancement of Hospice and Palliative Care! Your social media skills inspire me!
