Presenters & Topics
June 5 - Rev. Paula Waite M.Th., ACC – Life Before Death: Living a better life now by planning ahead
In our society, talking about death or serious illness is often avoided. Not accepting death as a natural part of life can lead to unpleasant situations, such as unnecessary suffering at the end of life, unwanted treatments, and regret.
Moving toward a “good death” is highly variable and specific to each person. Fear and anxiety can be reduced by educating oneself and informing family members about your wishes. The program will cover Advance Care Planning, Medical Interventions, Why Talking Matters.
