April 2-Death, Dying & Funerals - Navigating End of Life Decisions
Despite the statistic that says 100% of us will die at some point, it’s not a subject that is openly discussed. Undoubtedly this reality is contemplated by some, accepted by a few, and avoided by most. Why is this? What is it about death and dying that makes people squeamish? Death and birth are bookends to a life cycle which has been true since the beginning of time - yet the end of one’s life is often met by surprise or astonishment. Me? Really? Surely not. When people choose to avoid the reality of eventual death, they often leave behind a proverbial living hell for the ones left behind. Families find themselves struggling to make sense of legal, financial, and business matters when their focus should be on emotional healing and supporting those in mourning. Make the commitment to bring a loved one or friend and attend this seminar featuring expert panelists who will share the most important things you need to know about death, dying, and commemorating your life on your terms. This could quite possibly be one of the most important seminars of the year.
