Navigating Life After Death: Rituals, Logistics, and Long-Term Care
There are few resources that clearly guide families and loved ones on what to do in the hours, days, and months following a death. This session featuring MollieShea Stephens, Funeral Director/Doula, provides compassionate, practical insights into what comes next after a loss—from honoring the sacred transition in the immediate moments, to navigating legal and logistical tasks in the weeks that follow, to longer-term considerations for settling an estate. Attendees will walk away with both emotional and practical tools for approaching this difficult time. Register here.

Empowering Caregivers: Tools and Strategies for End-of-Life Support
Caregivers can feel unprepared to provide end-of-life care and seek guidance from Hospice and Palliative social workers. They also struggle with how to interpret experiences such as hallucinations or perceived visits from deceased loved ones. These challenges can be overwhelming or traumatic. In this presentation, Nicole Patterson, LCSW and Suzanne Nicholson MDiv, MSW examined these concerns through the lens of social work, providing guidance on compassionate and effective family support, and the interrelated social, medical, and spiritual dimensions that emerge at the end-of-life.
