Bardo Basics: Nature's Companions

Walking with a loved one through a diagnosis and sitting with them until the end is an experience few of us are prepared for. These weekly mini-courses will help caregivers and family members better understand the end-of-life process and options and be more ready for what’s to come. Rotating topical sessions will be led by different instructors and include the opportunity to have your own specific questions addressed.

Basic courses include:

• Hospice 101

  : An overview of palliative care and the basics of hospice

• Signs and Stages of Dying

  : What to look for and expect when someone is nearing the end

• Being Present with Death

  : Tools to help you emotionally and spiritually prepare yourself for being with someone who is dying
