End of Life, Explained
A thoughtful, practical, and compassionate community conversation about how we live—and how we die.
We all know, somewhere in the background of our lives, that this chapter will come. And yet most of us feel unprepared when it does.
End of Life, Explained is a public forum designed to bring clarity, honesty, and a sense of grounded peace to one of life’s most universal experiences. This event will explore the medical, ethical, and spiritual dimensions of end-of-life care, including hospice and California’s End of Life Option Act.
