New Resource: Dying With Dignity Webinar Series for Families & Caregivers in LTC
Par Leah Cabral, Communications Manager
Presented by Dying With Dignity and Family Councils Ontario.
It is said that dying is easy, but living is hard. That topic can launch hours of debate, but one thing is certain: dying can be easier if you make decisions ahead of time. Discuss and plan for what you want or don’t want before you reach your life's end stage.
We answer difficult questions and help you feel empowered about end-of-life choices. Experienced volunteers lead our presentations and will help you be organized, in control, and at peace.
