“An advance directive like Five Wishes allows you to guide important medical care decisions that might be made if you ever get seriously ill — such as whether to give you life-support treatment. You may think that your loved ones and doctors will automatically know what you want when you are very ill, but in reality, everyone has different wishes and it’s important to make them clearly known. – From the Five Wishes website. Five Wishes serves as a legal document in 42 states, including Michigan. Instructor, Michelle L. Malkin, J.D., will lead you through this accessible planning tool with the help of some DVDs.

Speaking casually about death is taboo in many cultures, but death is part of life, and when we talk about it, we help normalize it. Normalizing death helps us better prepare for it. You can’t prepare for something you don’t acknowledge. By having conversations about death, you can help others feel more comfortable about death, too, so it’s not viewed as something morbid, but something absolutely worth talking about. “At a Death Cafe people, often strangers, gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss death. Our objective is ‘to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives’. A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session. — From the Death Cafe website (https://deathcafe.com/) Facilitator: Julie Dillon
