November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month. On Thursday November 17 at 2pm, Hospice of the Northwest invites you to take part in an intimate conversation about end of life issues at the Oak Harbor Library. Consider the Conversation is a thought-provoking film that sheds light on the 21st century American struggle with communication and preparation at the end-of-life. Forty years ago, most people experienced a quick death, but today we are more likely to suffer a slow, incremental dying process. This documentary film looks closely at the emotional, spiritual, physical and social burdens we now associate with dying, and begins to examine personal solutions.
While you are waiting for the film event, check out some of these titles:
