Presenter: Mary McCall

In this session, we will have a panel of death midwives sharing their roles in supporting individuals, families, and friends when someone is facing a terminal diagnosis or hospice and end-of-life. We will explore the backgrounds of the midwives and areas of specialty, ranging from legacy projects (what would you like to leave for others?) to rituals to death plans to sitting vigil the last days/hours, as well as after-death plans and care for families and loved ones. Bring your friends, family, and lots of questions!
