SUMMARY:*VIRTUAL* Author Talk: Dr. Christopher Kerr\, Death is But a Dream
DESCRIPTION:Experiences at the end of life testify to our greatest needs: to love and be loved\, to be nurtured and feel connected\, to be remembered\, and forgiven. Christopher Kerr is a hospice doctor. All of his patients die. Yet he has tended to thousands of patients who\, in the face of death\, speak of love\, meaning\, and grace. They reveal that there is hope beyond cure as they transition to focus on personal meaning. \nIn this extraordinary and beautiful book\, Death is But a Dream\, Dr. Kerr shares his patients’ stories and his own research pointing to death as not purely the end of life\, but as a final passage of humanity and transcendence. \nDrawing on interviews with over 1\,200 patients and more than a decade of published research\, Dr. Kerr reveals why pre-death dreams and visions are remarkable events that bring comfort and exemplify human resilience. His TEDx Buffalo talk has received more than 4.6M views and his research on end-of-life experiences are the focus of a Netflix documentary series\, “Surviving Death” as well as a PBS documentary.

SUMMARY:*VIRTUAL* Take Charge! Guided Advance Care Planning (two-part workshop)
DESCRIPTION:What matters most to you? If you were facing serious illness\, what kind of care would you want? If you couldn’t speak for yourself\, who would? \nPlanning for your future care can bring peace of mind – to you and your loved ones. Advance care planning is a process that helps you decide and document what kind of care you would want – and what kind you would not want – if you have a health crisis and are not able to communicate or make decisions. \nIn this free 2-part online course (August 11 and 18)\, you will learn more about advance care planning and the steps you can take to help get the care you want\, based on what matters most to you. You will be guided through the process of thinking about what is important to you\, talking about it with those close to you (including your doctor)\, selecting someone to act as your representative\, and completing an Advance Health Care Directive to document your decisions. At the conclusion of this training\, you will have all the information you need to complete your Advance Directives and the tools to do it. \nInstructors: Mary Matthiesen is the chief strategy officer with Mission Hospice & Home Care – one of the original and still independent non-profit hospices in California – and has led awareness initiatives on end-of-life issues internationally. \nConnie Borden\, RN\, MSN\, ANP\, is an advance practice nurse with 28 years of experience in hospice and palliative care. She has led a local nonprofit hospice as executive director and worked on inpatient services as a palliative consultant. She had presented advance care planning information during her 15 years at San Francisco’s St. Mary’s Medical Center.
