Saying Goodbye: Helping Famillies Cope with Terminal Illness
With advances in modern medicine, the nature of death and dying has undergone a dramatic shift. A diagnosis of a life-threatening disease is not always an immediate death sentence, and one can survive months or even years before succumbing to a terminal illness. It can give us the gift of more time with our loved ones -- but it can also complicate the grieving process, prolonging the emotional pain, bringing family issues to the forefront, and creating new challenges for everyone involved.
Clinical instructor at Harvard Medical School and a professor of counseling psychology at Northeastern University, Barbara F. Okun, will speak about her latest co-authored book, "Saying Good-bye: A Guide for Families Coping with Terminal Illness," and offer a road map that will help family members navigate the realities of death and dying.
Lunch will be provided.
Registration is required.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call or send me an e-mail.
Sincerely,
Rachel Sandler
