Death & Dying: A Class about Life and Living
Facilitator: Mike Szymanowski
All of us go down to the dust; yet even at the grave we make our song: Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia. BCP page 499
Death is a part of life from which none of us will escape. We deal with the death of friends and family members during our lifetimes; and each of us must eventually die. This is a class designed so that we can face our mortality and thus “come to terms” with our own eventual dying. The goal of this class is that, in facing death as a fact, we may claim this gift of life more fully.
Among the topics we will discuss are how to deal with grief, what does Scripture say about life after death, and how to celebrate a life even at the time of death, helping children with the topic of death, what to say and do and what not to say and do to assist others who are grieving…and much more. This class will include practical advice on planning a funeral and dealing with the “funeral professionals” at the time of death.
