End of Life Issues Seminar

Back by popular demand! This seminar will prepare you for, or at least to think about, such end-of-life matters as why you need a will and how to get one; the grieving process and what's normal; burial options, including environmentally-friendly ones; what hospice can do for you or loved ones; how to get the memorial service you want ....

• Oak Park's Dreschler-Brown-Williams Funeral Home's Charlie Williams will be back to discuss choices, costs, pre-planning and other things you didn't even know you had to consider about funerals.
• Estate planning lawyer Angelica Kuehn, a specialist in aging issues, will cover legal aspects of death and dying, including medicare benefits and the difference between trusts and wills.
• UTUUC Minister of Faith Development Emily Gage will help you plan a memorable memorial service -- down to picking out the hymns if you want!
• Rainbow Hospice International chaplain Karen Mooney will walk you through the grieving process, sharing her own story of widowhood and how grief can inform and transform our lives.
• The hospice team from Northwestern Memorial Hospital comprising UT member hospice nurse Carol Kinsey, chaplain and assistant pastor of Resurrection Church of Chicago Gabriel Hardaway, and hospice social worker and psychotherapist Carolyn Placko will tell all about hospice care.
• Time for Q & A.

All these topics and more will be covered on Saturday, February 25 between 9 AM and 3 PM at Unity House. On the day of the Seminar, registration begins at 8:30 AM.
