Essential Happenings Thursday, November 1st
Intro to Hospice: Guiding You Through End of Life Planning and Care. 6-7:30pm, Coastal Pharmacy & Wellness, 29 Marginal Way, Portland. It’s common to think of hospice only when someone is in their final days and it’s time to “keep them comfortable.” Hospice is so much more than that. It’s about working with caring people who listen and guide you and your family through a very difficult time. Join Jaye Van Dussen of Hospice of Southern Maine to learn what hospice is and what services are available to help us “live until we die.” It’s not about giving up, it’s about easing into death as prepared as you can be. Hospice helps the whole family do just that. FREE event. Register at:
