Exploring End of Life, Death, & Dying: An Interactive Discussion Led by Russell Campbell
- Why do we often avoid discussing death, dying and end of life?
- Why do so many of us focus on the aging process?
- Do most humans really want to live forever?
- Just what is a "good death"?
We invite you to join this facilitated, engaging and interactive discussion focusing on death as an idea, fear and anxiety around end of life and death and dying, the dying process, ceremonies and rituals in various cultures, death metaphors, hospice, and grief and loss. Together we'll explore these experiences, which touch all of our lives, as we become more comfortable discussing death in both private and professional settings. This discussion will be particularly helpful for healthcare providers, and those training to become healthcare providers.
Russell Campbell, HANC Director with the Fred Hutch Cancer Center, is an expert facilitator/instructor with years of experience providing practical and emotional support for people living with HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening illnesses. Additionally, Mr. Campbell has provided care for and been present during the deaths of a spouse, a parent and numerous friends.
