  • Advance Care Planning and a game of Go Wish

    Featured

    You don't need a lawyer to think about advance care planning for health care! Having a living will and a health care proxy/agent/representative are ways to ensure that you have communicated what your health wishes would be if you become unable to speak for yourself. Come to this hands-on workshop to play the Go Wish card game, learn about the Five Wishes form and other types of living wills, and have some lively conversation about how health care is supposed to work out... and how it often plays out in real life.

  • Documentary Viewing and Speaker Series: Live and Let Go An American Death with Jay Niver

    Endswell Speaker Series
    Endswell Funeral Home 407 Meadowlands Dr, Hillsborough, NC, United States

    When Sam Niver learned his cancer was terminal, the last thing he wanted was to die in a hospital. Fiercely independent, he wanted to exit as he had lived – on his own terms. In constant pain, with seemingly endless drugs and radiation, Sam did his research, made his plans, approved his obituary, and asked son Jay to chronicle the final days in his NC bay-front home.
    This award-winning documentary is a moving tribute to a life lived well and ended with dignity. Jay Niver, who volunteers with Final Exit Network, will introduce the film and answer questions.
