Caring for our Loved Ones in the Last Season of their Lives

 

Birth, ageing, sickness, and death, is part of life cycle.  During our temporary human existence, we live this life in meaningful ways through the roles we play as parents, spouse, children, or even through our careers. When our lives near the end, what are the struggles we may face?  

In this talk, let us come together and reflect on the struggles face by those whose lives are nearing the end, and their main caregivers.  We also look at ways to prepare our loved ones and ourselves in this last season.
