Letting Go: Having Conversations About the End of Life

Join us on Tuesday, April 12 from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM for a presentation on having conversations about the end of life to friends and family.

While there are things we cannot control as the end of life nears, there are many things that are in our control if we are willing to prepare with honest and heartfelt conversations. Rather than being something to fear, such discussions can bring closeness and comfort to individuals and families.

This presentation will include:

• When and how to approach a conversation
