In this online event — bringing together perspectives from medicine, grief and bereavement, medical aid in dying advocacy, somatic practice, and research — a panel of end-of-life experts will explore the practical, emotional, physical, and societal dimensions of dying.
This conversation will explore preparing for the end of life by considering advance directives, communicating your wishes, and making meaningful plans for yourself and your loved ones. It will also address how to navigate medical care, including understanding the healthcare system, asking informed questions, and advocating for care that reflects your values and goals.
Participants will examine grief and loss—how grief affects us, how we can support ourselves and others, and why there is no single “right” way to grieve—as well as the evolving landscape of medical aid in dying and its legislative and ethical considerations. Through a somatic lens, they will consider the physical and embodied experience of illness, dying, and grief, while also looking at what research can teach us about death, dying, grief, and the diverse ways individuals and communities experience them.
Rather than offering a single perspective on death, this conversation will attempt to bring together varied expertise to help us see the end of life more clearly. Attendees will leave with greater knowledge, practical tools, and new ways to approach conversations that can feel difficult but are deeply important.
Dr. Lisa Caramico is an Associate Professor of Anesthesiology at Yale School of Medicine and a pediatric anesthesiologist at Bridgeport Hospital. Also a certified death doula.
