We Can Die Better – Resources, Updates, and Events January 2017

January 31, 2017 By sgarrett Leave a Comment

We have lots of people to train, coach, and support in 2017 so lets get started!

In numerology this year, 2017, is a number 1 year, a year of new beginnings. A new beginning in dying, death, and grief could be signing up for Alive in Death Training for healthcare providers and family caregivers!

By the way the Saskatchewan Association of Licensed Practical Nurses has approved Alive in Death Training for their continuing education program with a value of 24 CEUs!

Events and Training

Alive in Death Online Training – www.aliveindeath.com

We have created a unique and truly helpful online training for healthcare providers and family caregivers designed to support them in both knowing death and dying more fully and in developing some great self-care practices designed to avoid burnout and increase the joy caregivers often feel.

We have also changed our tuition fee structure and now offer it by the choice of three donation amounts $75.00, $175.00 or $275.00. It is important to me that the training gets wide distribution and I do not want money to be an issue. In a way it is my gift to our professional and family caregivers who do such a great job serving our dying loved ones.

Here are some resources you can access for both yourself and for those you work with.

We have several events coming up for folks looking for training in dying, death, and grief.

March 4th, 2017                         Living out of the Box

This is a one-day workshop designed to give participants a first hand experience in facing their own death in order that they inspire and re-energize their life. Go to our Facebook page for a look; https://www.facebook.com/events/448908255497539/

Seating is limited to 20 participants to ensure each person get the full attention they deserve.

March 2017                                     Dying, Death and Grief Training

We will be spending 5 days in Whitehorse working with the Dene Nation providing community-based grief and loss training for their staff and community members.

April 6th to 10th, 2017             Alive in Death Training in Campbell River, BC

Over these five days we will be offering training for health care providers, the general public and family caregivers. There will be a weekend workshop, several onsite mini-trainings, a Death Café and a movie night all designed to bring death back to life. Connect with Darlene Bentley the local organizer for more details. darbent@me.com

Death Matters is a live radio show on the air each week through the host station Vancouver Coop Radio. Our web site www.deathmatterslive.com holds all the podcast in a nicely archived collection and they are available via iTunes free of charge. We now have 1½ years’ worth of outstanding shows that touch on all manner of dying, death, grief and loss with many knowledgeable guests.

We Can Die Better Magazine has published weekly articles since October 2015 and like its audio counterpart has a large collection of articles broken in to easily accessible categories for your reference. Some are written by myself, and many are written by others in the field of dying, death, and grief. Here is a link to a recent article I wrote;

Here is a link to my newest video that is about a different approach to dying and death. It was filmed by students in the film department of the University of the Fraser Valley and they entitled it “Lessons from Loss”. Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ve_GW3_pm6w&feature=em-upload_owner

We are developing a documentary series entitled Good Death Bad Death – What’s the Difference? which will be available later this summer. It will focus on what we can do as family members to ensure our loved one dies a good death and has great after death care too.
