We invite you to join this facilitated, engaging and interactive discussion focusing on death as an idea, fear and anxiety around end of life and death and dying, the dying process, ceremonies and rituals in various cultures, death metaphors, hospice, and grief and loss. Together we'll explore these experiences, which touch all of our lives, as we become more comfortable discussing death in both private and professional settings. This discussion will be particularly helpful for healthcare providers, and those training to become healthcare providers.
