30 Apr Death and Dying for Beginners Class

Death and Dying for Beginners Class at Parks Place Community Resource Center in Bellows Falls.

Our popular Death and Dying for Beginners Class  will begin on four consecutive Wednesday evenings from 6-8:30 PM beginning May 28 thru June 18 at Park’s Place, 44 School St. Ext., Bellows Falls, VT.

The class will provide opportunities for individuals to explore awareness, attitudes and feelings about death and dying. Participants will learn how to provide emotional and practical support to individuals and families who are facing or grieving a death. The class is structured around readings, discussion and personal reflection.  The series offers a time for exploration into this challenging and often avoided topic. The class is free of charge.  Class size is limited and registration and a pre-course conversation with one of leaders is required.

The extent to which individuals engage their mortality has a direct impact on how they live their lives. In their continuing efforts to promote learning about and engaging end of life realities, challenges and opportunities, Brattleboro Area Hospice offers this four week series that explores our understanding of end of life and our emotional relationships to death and dying.

The program will be led by Patty Dunn, Hospice Program Coordinator and Ryan Murphy, Hospice Care Coordinator. The curriculum will include material used to train our hospice and bereavement volunteers to serve families in the community facing terminal illness, death, and grief.  Contact the office at 257-0775 or email info@brattleborohospice.org to register.
