This new, monthly series aims to offer information and exploration of options and considerations around the processes of preparing to die, and dying itself. Learning about and exploring these topics as a group reminds us that we are not alone, and it gives us the opportunity to share our perspectives and ask questions together, as we plan for our inevitable exit.
