"Does morphine hasten death?" "Is Hospice care only for the last few days of life?" "Does Hospice mean giving up on life?" "Who pays the hospice bill?" "I think my loved one may need hospice, what do I do?" This workshop addresses many of the commonly believed assumptions (and myths) about Hospice care. If you're considering Hospice care for a loved one now or soon down the road, put this 1-hour workshop on your calendar and bring family members and friends.

Not long ago and still in the memory of many today, funerals were essentially a family affair. When a loved one died, the body was washed and dressed at home. Neighbors came to the home, paid their respects and filled the family table with Ham and Scalloped Potatoes. A coffin was made, a grave dug and in a couple days, the deceased was lowered and the grave filled by relatives bearing shovels. With the growing practices of Cremation, Memorials and “Celebrations of Life” services, the way we grieve in America has changed . . . but is this a good thing?

Come and explore . . . 

How grieving has changed over time and why it matters

How Funerals, Memorials and Celebrations of Life impact grieving

How properly grieving enables us to move forward in life
