Navigating End-Of-Life: Answers to Your Questions
Death is one of life’s greatest certainties, yet it can feel like one of its biggest mysteries. This unique program provides a safe space to ask questions and explore the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of dying.
Topics include:
- What happens to the body during the dying process?
- How can we best prepare for the death of a loved one?
- What does it mean to “get your affairs in order”?
- What contributes to a “good” dying experience?
- How do individuals approach death emotionally, psychologically and spiritually?
Led by compassionate experts from MercyOne North Iowa Hospice, this interactive discussion aims to break the stigma around conversations about death and empower attendees to make informed end-of-life care decisions.
Whether you’re planning ahead for yourself or supporting a loved one, this event offers valuable insights and meaningful guidance.
