Join me on Saturday, June 16, 2012, from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a stimulating, interactive workshop. We will critically examine our beliefs, attitudes, experiences and feelings around loss. Then we will look at nature to see what nature does with death. Nothing is wasted; we as a culture have forgotten how to deal with death. This workshop will provide a point of focus, a mirror for us to examine our own ideas and beliefs surrounding death. Come prepared to share, explore, question, challenge, talk.
Please call 503.224.4929 to register for “Why is it so hard to talk about death and dying?” $20 investment. New Renaissance Bookshop is located at 1338 NW 23rd Avenue, Portland, OR. All new material!!
A chaplain’s first priority is always the patient, no matter who makes the request for a visit. Sometimes it is the patient herself who makes the request, sometimes a doctor or nurse, sometimes a family member, and sometimes on my rounds, I would simply hear distress in a room and stop to see if I could help.
