What does it really mean to face death—our own, or that of someone we love—with honesty, grace, and courage? This winter, we invite you to join our book study on Advice for Future Corpses (and Those Who Love Them) by Sallie Tisdale, a compassionate, clear-eyed exploration of what it means to die well and to care for the dying.
Tisdale, a palliative care nurse and award-winning writer, offers a rare blend of practical guidance and profound wisdom. With warmth and humor, she demystifies the dying process and opens a conversation that too often remains hidden in silence or fear. Her writing reminds us that talking about death is, in truth, talking about life—about love, connection, and what truly matters.
Throughout this study, we’ll read together, reflect, and share our own experiences and questions. Whether you are a caregiver, a healthcare professional, someone who has lost a loved one, or simply curious about what it means to live fully in light of mortality, this series offers a gentle and thoughtful space for conversation.
Come as you are—curious, uncertain, or contemplative. Together we’ll explore what it means to prepare, to accompany, and to live with awareness of life’s impermanence.
Sign up today and join us for this deeply meaningful journey.
Gathering Dates: January 28, February 11, and February 25
Time: 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm on Zoom, $25.00 for the series. Registration is required to send Zoom information.
