Preparing for the End of Life: Creating a Death File

You do not need a terminal diagnosis to think about and plan for the end of your life. There are many things you can do right now to prepare yourself and your loved ones for before and after your death. This class is designed to educate you on decisions you can make right now, how to document them, and ways to communicate them with loved ones. Together, we will work on creating a "Death File" - a collection of documents that contains everything your loved ones will need if/when you are ready to choose hospice if you face a terminal illness, or should you face death unexpectedly. “How we live is how we die.” The more prepared you are for death - internally and with your worldly affairs - the easier your transition from life will be. The goal of this class is to help you on your journey to cultivating peace in your relationship with death, an end we will all eventually face. A positive and intentional relationship with our mortality can help inspire us to live our lives with a greater sense of ease and purpose, and to ensure that no matter how the end of our life looks for us, we will feel ready and prepared.

There is a $15 materials fee for an expanding file folder and document print-outs payable to the instructor.
