End of Life Education, which usually meets the third Thursday of the month, will have its final meeting of the summer this coming Thursday, June 26, at the Community United Methodist Church at 434 Lewis St.
Use the parking lot with the side entrance into the kitchen and fellowship hall. The main doors into the church will remain locked.
The program will begin at 1pm with time for visiting, coffee, tea and treats. There will be several topics of discussion since we will be completing all the activities of this session and, so to speak, tying up loose ends.
Dr. Pam Kircher facilitated our last meeting on May 15, when she decided we needed more time for discussion on this topic. She is a retired family practice and hospice doctor. Her book, “Love is the Link: A Hospice Doctor Shares Her Experience of Near-Death and Dying,” tells her own experiences, as well as some of the experiences of her patients and their families.
Our open discussion gave us a chance to share near-death and related experiences. There will be an opportunity to continue this discussion, also with time for questions.
If anyone has something they would like to share, this will be the last opportunity for the time being, so please be ready to share.
In May there were many questions about the Colorado End-of-Life Options Act, making available medical aid in dying for terminally ill individuals with a prognosis of six months or less to live to request and self-administer medical aid-in-dying medication.
Our programs are free, but people attending can bring canned food for the church pantry or make a cash donation in appreciation for using the room. Attendance varies for each program, so feel welcome to come and bring friends.
