It’s never too soon to prepare for the end of life.
Being prepared doesn’t hasten death, it frees you up to live fully.
Do you have an advance directive and a medical proxy in case you are unable to make decisions for yourself?
Do you and your loved ones know what you want in your dying process and for the disposition of your body?
Most people do not want to languish on life support machines at the end of their lives, but have a hard time getting around to filling out the directives to prevent that from happening.
We are going to have facilitated community conversations about the nuances of those decisions and support each other in the process of getting the paperwork completed.
Thursday September 18th 6:30-8:30
We’ll gather for some conversation about making the personal decisions that are included in the official documents you need to prepare in order to maximize the likelihood that you get what you want and need as you die and after your death.
Saturday October 18th 2-5
We will get into the nitty gritty details and create the documentation. If you do not leave with the paperwork completed, you will leave knowing exactly what questions remain and what you need to do to finish the process.
The cost for these two conversations is $30.00 in order to cover materials.
It will be held at Ruscombe Community Health Center
4801 Yellowwood Ave, Baltimore MD 21209
Sharon Moore and Diana Keener are your facilitators. We are both experienced Death Doulas.
We will be using the Five Wishes and the workbook “I’m Dead, So Now What?” as tools for this discussion. We will also introduce you to a wide range of other resources.
