What documents are important to have in place and why? Who do I call after my loved one dies? How can my parish help? Illness and death are difficult to discuss; understanding the options can help. In this four-part series, professionals in health care and the Church will share their knowledge of what to expect when a person nears the natural end of life, how to provide compassionate care, and what steps to be taken in the preparation and upon death. Each session is independent.
