Honouring Lives Well-Lived: Planning for the End of Life
Wednesday November 7 and Wednesday November 14, 2012
7 - 9 pm both evenings
How do you want to be remembered? How does your parent wish to be cared for as her life draws to an end? Do you know who can make medical decisions for you when you cannot make them yourself? Is that person the best person to make those decisions? Does your partner have a special hymn she wants sung at her funeral or memorial? What happens to us after death? Where is God when I am dying?
None of these are easy questions. It's not something we like
to think about--the end of our life or of someone we love. But with
preparation we can have confidence that while it may still be difficult,
we have made our choices ourselves with thought and prayers.
Presentations by clergy, hospice personnel, a lawyer, and a funeral director will offer insights and suggestions for you and those you love as you consider living wills, medical powers of attorney, funeral pre-planning, the meaning of death, and God's presence with us in death, among other topics.
Sessions will take place Wednesday November 7 and Wednesday November 14 at Hospice of Windsor from 7 - 9 pm.
Please join MCC Windsor; Bedford United, Westminster United, and Emmanuel United Churches, and Hospice of Windsor for this important time of sharing and information.
