HANCOCK -- "Embracing Mortality," a five-week course that will explore the end-of-life options available here in the Copper Country, starts at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 19, at First United Methodist Church in Hancock. No particular religious faith will be promoted.
"Facing the enormity of our own term limits need not be frightening or morbid. In fact, we laugh a lot in this course!" says instructor Carolyn Peterson. "In the same way that a childbirth class helps expectant parents overcome the fear of giving birth, knowledge and preparation can lessen the fear of dying. A major goal of the course is to add joy and meaning to whatever time we have left to live."
A collaborative effort of the Community Coalition on Grief and Bereavement, the course is designed to help people approach the end of life without fear. Participants can expect a supportive atmosphere; group discussions; and guest speakers that include a physician, Hospice nurse and funeral directors. Class size is limited to 25 people.
To obtain more information and to pre-register, contact instructor Carolyn Peterson at 482-4696 or ccpeter650@hotmail.com.
