Resetting the house after caring for people becomes part of the a care ritual …. As does a ride home with open windows, music and a heart full of love.

Advocacy

A story of
advocating for choice with COMPLICATED a medical history
with Nancy Adams.

Nancy will share about her unexpected experience of becoming an advocate for choice while supporting her husband through the end of his life. When a person doesn’t have a terminal illness and has had a history of ideation and attempts, getting physicians to see them as a whole person with agency, is a difficult thing, and she did just that. Being and advocate is difficult at the best of times, being an advocate for the person you loves right to die layered with difficulties and sharp wins.

We hope you can join us.

Topic: Grief
This Isn’t Working: Ending Harmful Relationships
With Dr. Claudelle Glasgow

Even with the best intentions, we might end up
working with someone who is not a good fit or,
more challenging, someone who is harmful to those we love & care for. This offering is an
opportunity to connect with the emotions, the ethics, logistics & the after of ending a relationship with a harmful caregiver. There is no cookie-cutter situation & no single response. We are here to learn the next best response & how to access that wisdom with ground, curiosity & clarity.

During our time it is with hopes you:
- gain an understanding of your spaces of limit, expansion & compromise
- recognize the signs of incompatibility & harm
- can name considerations in transferring care & referrals
- engage in practice of endings

**********************************

Children are welcome, and we will not have childcare but some art and activities for them to engage with. It’s been shared in the past that folks needed to bring the littles to attend and we have a space this year that is safer for little humans.

Morning snacks and beverages will be catered by jack and his lovely crew at
Lunch will catered by - we are thankful for the sponsorship from that allows us to nourish ourselves in this way.

Look for posts this week with bios and a few words from our speakers.

** We are proud to share that our conference is accessible to folks financially and physically. Not only do we offer a sliding scale, but we have a handful of tickets to share for those who need sharing. We also pay every one of our speakers, artists and musicians unless they ask us to keep the money.
It may sound like a given but it’s not- lots of conferences still go by exposure is pay for presenters, inspite of who else they pay to make the conference happen. The funds collected for this conference, go right to the people who make it happen - if we are lucky we get close to breaking even. This is what makes sponsorships extra helpful.

This Sunday at Asphodel from 9-10:30am.

Come as you are.
Be in community.
Talk or don't.
Accept a cup of something warm and soothing.
Look out at the water or into the fire.
Whatever you're feeling, you're welcome here.

If this wall could talk it would tell you with soft pride, that it’s blooming and growing.
This wall would tell you people trust us with their death and often, the people they love.
This wall would remind you of what happens when people share what they have.
This wall would tell you true moments of healing are possible when we care for each other, because we can.
This wall would tell you not to believe you can’t make significant change.
This wall would have you breathe life into your dreams, inflate them hope, feed them with curiosity and trust in change…
This wall would tell you to watch out for vultures.
This wall would tell you to be the Bobby Wagner your dreams need to thrive.

Sally trusted us with this house for so many reasons and one was because she trusted me- i’m as stubborn and steadfast as they come she’d say. I hold this home with my heart and hands…. And do the very best I can to weave the threads together with a tiny group of people. I know we can keep being a model for what’s possible when we step away from the monetization of care, specifically deathcare.

If these walls could talk they’d beg you not to believe the hype, and to keep deathcare in community.
