We all have to die, so let's discuss how to do it well! This four-session course will explore practical and emotional aspects of preparing to have a dignified death. Topics will include unfinished business, how to talk to loved ones, forgiveness, what we can learn from illness and death; the impact of a good death on those we leave behind. There will be some readings and some writing in and out of class.
The class will be taught by CDT member Carol Hausman, an experienced teacher, clinical psychologist and gerontologist. The class will be limited to ten people to allow for meaningful discussion. If you are interested in participating or have questions, please send a note to Carol at cpopky@gmail.com.
