Most of us are reluctant to talk about death or dying and sometimes we will even deny the truth to avoid facing our own or a loved one’s death.
When we speak openly about what is happening and the possibility of death, families experience love, grace, forgiveness, and peace.
Avoiding the conversation or denying that death is a possibility leads to pain, bitterness, resentment, and anger.
Jennifer Jones will present the documentary, Speaking of Dying, at St. Dunstan’s Church on Wednesday, January 31st, at 7:00pm in the Parish Hall.
This 30-minute film is an intimate look at the lives of several families facing the death of a loved one. There are interviews with the people dying and with the members of their families. This powerful and heartwarming documentary provides a gentle and safe introduction to the difficult topic of death.
After the screening, Jennifer will lead a discussion of the film where you can ask questions and learn from her many years of experience. The screening of the film is free and open to all in the community.
St Dunstan’s Episcopal Church, 722 N 145th, Shoreline 98133
