Events for Jan 11 - November 22, 2024

Information will be loaded on Dave's Facebook page before the event.

FEN is a sponsor of this event. Rob Rivas will be speaking during a workshop, Gary Wederspahn will be leading a panel discussion about death around the world (cultural diversity of attitudes and practices), and we will have several live chat sessions available to answer questions regarding Final Exit Network.

As the population ages the possibility of a dementia epidemic increases. This panel will explore what one can do to determine how long you would want to live if you had dementia and what options are available for a peaceful death when you still have decisional capacity — and when you don’t. We will explore solutions through the Dementia Directive, VSED, Final Exit Network and more. Expert Speakers: Karl Steinberg, MD. Long term care, Hospice & Palliative Medicine and Geriatric Specialist, Editor-in-chief of Caring for the Ages, and Chair of the Coalition for Compassionate Care of CA. Topic: Stopping Eating and Drinking through Advance Directives Colin Brewer, MD. Psychiatrist in London, Author of “O, let Me Not Get Alzheimer’s Sweet Heaven” and “I’ll See Myself Out, Thank You“ (with Michael Irwin), Board of My Death My Decision.
