This
special conference is for those facing a life limiting illness,
those who have cared or are caring for someone with a life limiting
illness and are seeking a more peaceful and dignified end of life
experience. It is also for the professionals who serve them.
The morning session, Love and Parachutes: Shaping the Final
Chapter of Your Life will be presented by Stephen Kiernan a
renowned lecturer, investigative journalist and advocate for compassionate
end of life care. Stephen will offer a “hopeful, vision for patients,
doctors and families” and alternatives that will aid in clarifying
priorities that will profoundly affect the dying as well as their
families and friends.
The afternoon session, Every Ending Has a Story: Uncovering
the Sacred in Life’s Journey, will be presented by Linda Piotrowski,
board certified chaplain and Spiritual Care Coordinator at Dartmouth
Hitchcock Medical Center. Linda, a well known lecturer on spiritual
care in palliative services will help us to access “the power of
spirituality as a healing therapy offered to patients and their
loved ones while engaged in the medical system.” She will present
tools to assist those journeying toward the end of life.
