Die Well Death Education 

The Latin phrase, “Memento Mori” translated in English means  “Remember you must die.” We are all going to die, whether we think  or talk about it – or not. However, thinking, talking, and preparing for  death can not only increase your possibilities of a “good death” but can  also create a better life.  

The primary intention of this series is to open the conversation about  death. Preparation and communication are the primary keys to the  creation of a “good death.” Learn what steps can – and should – be  taken to better prepare for our own deaths, as well as options available  to you at the end-of-life and afterwards. This series will explore many  different topics and options for consideration and conversation; not to  become paralyzed by the concept of our own demise, but rather to  inspire, motivate, and encourage ourselves and others to live our best  lives.  

#1 – Monday, November 15th, 2021 – 6:30 – 8:00 PM 

Preparation is Key – This session will focus on death preparation:  advance directive, end-of-life plans, etc., inclusive of a discussion of  EOL and disposition options.
