Prep for the Inevitable: A Princeton Wintersession MiniCourse
Online Webinar
Tuesday, January 25 and Thursday, January 27, 2023, 1-2:30 pm Eastern
Online
What’s the difference between a will and an advanced directive? Which is better: burial or cremation? What is the role of an executor anyway? Do you know what type of care your parents or grandparents or other loved ones want (or don’t want) if they were to become seriously ill and are unable to speak for themselves? Have you ever considered what you might have to navigate as a next-of-kin to someone in a compromised physical situation? Or have you ever wondered what’s going to happen to all the stuff when someone close to you dies? This mini-course is meant to give people—as early as possible—a language about a subject that has been made somewhat invisible and relatively uncomfortable: Death and dying. But it will also give you the tools to help you understand what you might need to know about your loved ones’ plans and wishes, how to start those fraught conversations, and how to convey to your loved ones how their tackling end of life planning will bring you greater peace of mind. It also may help you clarify your own values-based wishes.

Reading Discussion—All the Living and the Dead by Hayley Campbell
Living Well, Dying Well Book Discussion
Thursday, March 7, 2024, 5:30-6:45 pm
Princeton, NJ – in person
Every other month on the third Wednesday (this time the fourth Wednesday!), join friends old and new to discuss a work of non-fiction, memoir, or maybe even fiction on a topic that is related to aging, caregiving, death, and dying.
This month, we will take a wider view of what death looks like in Hayley Campbell’s All the Living and the Dead: From Embalmers to Executioners, an Exploration of the People Who Have Made Death Their Lives’ Work. With a thru-line from her own life, each chapter touches on another occupation that centers death—and teaches something about life—in some way. RSVP to find out more about our in-person gathering.
Discussion Leader: Leslie Rowley
You can find the bookat your favorite online retailer or brick and mortar bookstore. (Maybe even your library!)
