Do you have questions about the role of an end of life doula? How to work with family members who are reluctant to discuss death plans and wishes? What is the best way to create necessary documents that will serve as a roadmap for others during their time of grief? Concerns about making funeral arrangements?

Kasey March, an End of Life Doula, Susan MacNeil, author of 18 Minutes: A Daughter's Primer on Life & Death, and Susan Watermann, funeral director at Knight Funeral Home and Crematory, will offer a chance to talk about preparing for a good death through the lens of their own unique experiences. March is a trained International End of Life Doula (INELDA). MacNeil experienced her mother's death in early 2022, having been required to attend When Mom Dies School despite the fact that she was a reluctant student. Watermann is a certified funeral service practitioner. Sharing their insight, the two-hour session will provide a framework for others to join in the conversation about all aspects of death, providing a deeper dive into specifics around end of life challenges and issues. The event is not intended to be a support group, although the conversation will be conducted in a compassionate, loving environment where individuals can ask questions and share information.

March will provide resources as requested by attendees and MacNeil will be available for book-signing and purchase (cash or check.) Coffee, tea and cake will be available. Adults 18+ are welcome, RSVP is not required and there is no charge to attend.
