Talking about end of life shouldn’t be hard. Or done alone.
Let’s talk through it together.
This series is devoted to the important conversations about something we’ll all face eventually, held in the safe space of community and led by an experienced facilitator.
Sessions will be 90-minutes and offered in-person and via Zoom on the following Sundays:
February 9
March 2
Presented in association with Death Cafe, led by Jim Van Buskirk.
Session Three: Sunday, February 9
Peaceful Death: Another Option?
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Final Exit Network, a national grassroots right-to-die organization which grew out of the Hemlock Society founded by Derek Humphry, and which has been supporting those who wish to hasten their own deaths. Only eleven jurisdictions currently have Death with Dignity Acts — often referred to as Medical Aid in Dying — and many people desiring a planned death don’t meet states’ strict criteria. Learn about what FEN does and how it addresses the needs of potential clients who are not necessarily terminally ill. To commemorate FEN’s anniversary, two videos have been created as well as an anthology, There at the End: Voices from Final Exit Network.
