Understand death better

Refreshments will be served.
There are big gaps in what we know about what’s possible and necessary at the end-of-life. Research shows people want more information about this taboo subject but don’t know how to find it.
Join author Margaret Rice in a free Q & A session.
Do I want to be resuscitated if I suffer a medical event? What’s legal? Will I be able to say ‘no’ to more treatment? How do I develop a plan to make sure my medical requests are followed? Do I need a will? Will my power of attorney be relevant at a hospital? How do I let people know my wishes? How do I guarantee they’ll be followed? Do I need an advance care directive if I enter a nursing home? What do I need to know to make the end of life better? What help is there to manage my grief?
Margaret’s book A Good Death: a compassionate and practical guide to prepare for the end of Life is published by Murdoch Books. She runs good-grief.com.au, a website to help people with death and grief.
