Medical education for end-of-life planning
Seminars for difficult conversations
Personalized nurse support
Normalize Death
Is it hard to talk with your parents or kids about death? Has a friend told you about the guilt and second-guessing they do because they had to decide if they should put a feeding tube in their mom? Do you freeze when your patient says, "I'm done"? Our culture hides death, and many healthcare professionals see death as failure. Luckily for you, you have found two nurses who want to help with these difficult conversations. We want to explain what it means to “do everything” to “save” a life.
Comprehensive & Humanized Health Care Information
Real medical equipment is shared to demystify the tools. Medical treatments and their purpose are discussed. Real stories are shared to help the information sink in. Sharing personal experiences isn't just for the presenters, but the participants, too. We want to hear your stories. And ask any "taboo" question. Learning about the sequence and side effects of these medical treatments and interventions helps you make educated decisions about what you want for your body.
Proven Strategy, Highly-Effective Education
All of the curriculum is purposeful and designed by Master's prepared educators. You are encouraged to ask questions and engage in thoughtful discussions. Participants report feeling energized, comforted, and empowered following the workshop.
Innovative, One-of-a-Kind Solution to a Selfless Act
With this unique education, you have the chance to discover your wishes and amplify your voice. It's expected that your loved ones will experience grief when you're gone. Before the Casket offers a solution to the guilt of not knowing what you want. Please do this for them.
