COMMUNITY BUILDING MUTUAL SUPPORT FORUM:
Exploration of Death and Dying with Sara Perry

Thursday, March
4 – 6 pm Pacific, 5 – 7 pm Mountain, 6 – 8 pm Central, 7 – 9 pm Eastern

To register, send a message to Allen Baker at: bakerallen444@gmail.com

Together we will be creating and maintaining a safe, supportive space to explore death and dying as it applies to you and your life. End of life is a topic that many avoid thinking about and talking about. It’s not easy. This is an opportunity to think about it and talk about it in a safe, supportive space. No one will quickly change the subject or tell you you’re being morbid and request that you stop talking about it.

I want to do this because, after 30 years of being a hospice counselor for patients at the end of life and their families, I want to share what I’ve learned about the end of life while I’m still able to. Also, I am very comfortable talking about death and dying and I want to put that to good use to help others become more comfortable talking about it.

After a brief introduction, I will be asking you questions to help you reflect on where you are now with end of life issues. Before some of the questions, I will tell brief stories about people at the end of life. My hope is that the stories will draw you in and facilitate your awareness of how you feel about the choices made and the consequences. There are no right answers. I will be inviting you to get in touch with what is true for you and to share some portion of that with the group.

There is no fee for Mutual Support Forum, but a donation will be requested which will support the student scholarship fund.

To register, send a message to Allen Baker at: bakerallen444@gmail.com.

There will be a maximum of 8 participants.
