Description
Aging is inevitable. Isolation is not. Discuss how to show up for the people we love, and the neighbors we barely know, during times of illness, dying, and loss. Explore the limits of medical care, the power of community presence, and simple steps to build circles of support so no one faces the end of life alone. Leave knowing how to reach out when words feel impossible, how to offer help that actually helps, and how to be a steady presence through illness, dying, and loss.
