Description

This workshop is designed for the frontline workers in advanced illness and end of life. Dying is a dynamic process that will affect the physical, emotional, psychosocial and spiritual aspects of everyone involved, along with ethical and legal conundrums. There are often no easy answers. With a foundation of patient and family centered care, this workshop will provide a deeper exploration of the daily complex challenges and offer practical suggestions while providing a compassionate but simple approach for all impacted by the dying process. Because our guidance and presence is critical for those patients and families making difficult end of life decisions and managing dying, it also asks the participant to reflect on their own values, beliefs and grief and how our work can transform our experiences.
