Palliative Care Doctor to Discuss Dying Process

Free Seminar -  What’s a Good Death? -- 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 7 at All Saints Lutheran Church, 15915 Excelsior Blvd., Minnetonka. Room: Undercroft (on the lower level - elevator available).  Discussion will be led by Dr. Thomas Klemond, a physician who focuses on palliative care. Please RSVP to cheiberg@allsaintsmtka.org.

This is part of a series of 6 seminars being held at All Saints Lutheran Church in October and November.  Other sessions are listed below.

Dr. Klemond will address such questions as: What role should doctors play in talking to patients about their probable life expectancy? What options do the dying and family members of the dying have? How does the reluctance to talk about death lead to the floundering of family members in a crisis?

Upcoming Tuesday night sessions at All Saints include seminars on Legacy Letters; What to Expect When Someone is Dying; What Do We Know About Heaven?; Grieving - How Do We Help Those Left Behind?; and What to Do After the Funeral.
