Description

Doing Death Better – Last Aid™ is First Aid for the Dying

The aim of this session is to help re-frame the experience of death as something sacred, and ensure, as much as possible, that an individual’s last days and, more especially, their last moments, are held in compassion and loving presence so their passing from this life is as beautiful as it can be.

Last Aid Foundation is for you if you would like to

Learn how to:

• stop treading on eggshells and feel more at ease talking about death
• be better able to support a dying friend or loved one
• be more in control and know what to do when death happens
• facilitate as peaceful and gentle a passing as possible for all concerned
• be more prepared for your own departure
• enhance skills you already have
• use the knowledge you gain to plan a career change
• have the option to become a Last Aider™ and / or a Bereavement Befriender™

Content

This session will give you insight into simple things we can all do to make a difference. The subject may be serious but it will definitely not be sombre and will be delivered with a sprinkling of humour and even an odd poem or two…

This day is intended to be the beginning of you:

• Feeling more comfortable, calm and confident around the subject of death
• Feeling more empowered and in control when dealing with any ‘authority’ issues
• Being part of a bigger plan to ‘soften the sorrow of death and bereavement’
• Helping to transform the way people generally approach and deal with death and loss
• Being of greater service when the need arises
