Life Review

Quality of life is the gold standard in palliative care. Francis Mueller, MD, Calistoga, California

Overview

Through the Journey Project, the Community Network builds upon nearly two decades of work advocating for quality, affordable neighborhood-based long-term care. Educational programming, strategic planning services, and publications offered draw upon a variety of perspectives representing the personal and professional experiences of those involved.

The basic premise of Journey Project is that wellness through the ending of life requires:

• good planning

This three hour workshop teaches people about bringing closure and peace of mind to the dying, their care-givers, family and friends. Upon completion of this workshop participants should understand: (1) the value, importance and techniques of life review; (2) the feelings of grief and loss and how to move through the process; (3) the value and importance of ritual & ceremony including creative approaches; and (4) resources of value to assist along the way.
