The Best Way to Say Goodbye
Tuesday, May 12th
1:30pm - 3:30pm
Del Mar Library

A free seminar on how to avoid the suffering and burdens of being "stuck" in advanced dementia will be presented at 1:30 p.m. May 12 at the Del Mar Library by Stanley A. Terman, PhD, M.D. Sponsored by Del Mar Community Connections, the psychiatrist and bioethicist will explain how you can augment a living will to assure that others will honor your wishes about "pulling the plug." "We can learn from the sad experiences of Casey Kasem, Robin Williams, Brittany Maynard and the movie, Still Alice," he notes.

 

The author of four books, Dr. Terman has created a decision-aid tool to generate clear and specific living wills and incorporate an "Ironclad Strategy" to make sure, in advance, the dying person's wishes will be followed. In 2000 he founded a non-profit organization, Caring Advocates, now a national leader in advance care planning for dementia.

 

Seating is limited. For reservations call 858 792-7565 or email dmcc@dmcc.cc.
