Living Fully, Dying Prepared
Photo by Brayan Guzman Cortez
Course Description
This Zoom class will be a place for personal stories, honest conversation, curiosity, and practical preparation.
We will begin with the deaths that have already shaped us and gradually move toward the choices we want to make about our own dying and death.
My hope is that we can approach these subjects with openness, tenderness, and even some laughter along the way.
Some of the topics we will explore in class:
We won’t be trying to find the “right” answers to question. We will be listening for our own answers—and, by the end, each of us will have gathered what matters into a personal Dying Prepared Portfolio.
I look forward to being in this conversation with you.
Juanita is a certified death educator and a retired grief counselor. She combines her professional skills with what she learned from caring for her husband until his death.
