Book Talk on Community Deathcare
October 18 | 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Author, speaker, and end-of-life educator Anna Byrne presents her new book, “The Last Caravan: The Power of Community at the End of Life.”
Facing a terminal diagnosis, Mary Morgan asks three friends to be her “dying team.” Over 16 months, until her death with Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), the team curates a death steeped in beauty, ceremony and practical support through building a casket, home vigil and green burial. The Last Caravan offers a new paradigm for deathcare by returning it to the hands of the community.
