Coping with Change
Posted January 19, 2015 at 4:49 am by Tim Dustrude
Hospice of San Juan launches a new series of workshops this month to help people take control of a part of life that nearly no one knows how to approach comfortably, that is aging. Whether it is parents, spouse, partner or ourselves, this series answers many questions. It’s called “Coping with Change”.
Each month, we will offer a topic that addresses fundamental information need so that you may take back some control over your life, and the life of your loved ones (or those you are responsible for). San Juan Island Library kindly provides space for the workshops, which will be held on the third Wednesday of each month.
This month’s meeting will deal with the forms we should be thinking about as we age, such as POLST, Advanced Directives, Powers of Attorney (did you know that there are multiple kinds that work in some situations and not others?). How do you find them? How do they get filled out? Why do they matter? and when do they apply?
On Wednesday, January 21st, 6:00 PM you may go to the Library and find out. Cyrus Field, resident of Shaw Island and an attorney with over twenty years of experience in elder care issues, will discuss those forms and how you may use them to make sure that end-of-life not be synonymous with end of control. When coping with change, sometimes the best approach is to meet challenges head on. Come and find out how to do just that.
