More and more Americans are rejecting modern funeral and burial practices, demanding a larger role in determining how and when they die, are memorialized and buried. This has given rise to terms like Death with Dignity, the Good Death Movement and The Death Positive Movement. Join Linda Gould, Death Doula and end-of-life consultant, to explore what is meant by these terms and how they might apply to you and your beliefs. The presentation includes a brief history of the major changes in death and burial practices, key points that help define a ‘good’ death, Medical Aid in Dying that is now legal in Delaware, and the rising interest in natural burials.
Q & A and discussion included.

Grief becomes more manageable when shared, and we all have stories to tell—whether to help others navigate their grief, release our own emotions, share funny moments, or seek emotional support. So, share your stories of life, love, grief, healing, and hope.
