Ageing Well Seminar: Death, Dying & Grief
Event description
A key element of ageing well is dying well. But many Australians feel ill-equipped for the conversations needed to prepare for their final years, and ensure loved ones are ready for the future.
Join Kylea and her Ageing Well Advisory Committee at this event to learn more about dying, death, grief, and how to create conversations around this important topic that impacts us all. A light lunch will be provided.
