What Matters in the End: Accompanying Oneself or Another to Death Part 1

Join us for this two-day workshop (October 3rd & 10th) centered around death and dying. It is a great gift to be able to approach our own death or that of another from a place of conscious preparation, knowing one’s own gifts, hopes and fears and those of our caregivers. 

Topics discussed will include:

  • Our own readiness to die

  • Caregiving and receiving

  • Difficulties that arise between the dying person and the one accompanying

  • Additional complications when dementia is present

  • A chosen death

Mico Sorrel and Dinah Bachrach, the hosts of this workshop, come to this work as people who have traveled this road themselves, each having accompanied a partner to death. Mico, a retired osteopathic physician and Dinah, a practicing therapist, are nurtured by Quakerism and find Healing Circles to be a place to deepen compassion and understanding for life's joys and challenges. 

We will spend each day in large and small groups with time for sharing and written personal reflection. There will be a one hour break for lunch, participants should plan to bring their own lunch. Snacks, coffee, and tea will be provided.
