Dying is an unavoidable part of human life, yet many of us find it awkward or uncomfortable to talk about. In partnership with the Tallahassee Senior Center Foundation, each week of this six-part series features compassionate professionals who will speak about different aspects of death and dying. From religious, spiritual, and physiological practices associated with the care of the dying, to the more practical matters of funeral and will planning, to the tender ways in which we support those who grieve, attendees will engage in meaningful conversations about a journey we will all one day make.

Join us in person at the Dr. B.L. Perry, Jr. Branch Library or via Zoom  https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_NG4pnUoxQEOAGRvmn9XIvQ
