The Door County Aging and Disability Center hopes a presentation next Friday helps you handle the emotional load of caring for someone with a terminal illness. According to the Washington Post, many people do not think about their death until the very end, with approximately 30 percent of Americans sharing their last breaths at home rather than a nursing home or hospital. Registered Nurse Marggie Hatala from Doulagivers of Door County hopes people walk away from her presentation more comfortable with their loved ones as they help out in the final days.
Hatala will give her presentation, “Caring for Those Facing Terminal Illness: From diagnosis to Final Hours” on August 2nd from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Door County Senior Center.
