From Sarah\, a former hospice RN and currently a palliative care Nurse Practitioner: Death is so personal. Sometimes it is fighting. It’s a process – a transition between realms. It can be magical. People don’t even know what it’s like to die – which is where fear sometimes comes in. \n\n\n\n-Veronica shared a video from Caitlin Doughty’s YouTube Channel where she covers the 7 different things that cause fear based on an article from the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology. Each of these fears can be approached differently. https://youtu.be/3IBsAiDeS4M?si=JeTIdXv8W8oR4hhn \n\n\n\nI’m afraid to die because my death would cause grief to my relatives and friends. \n\n\n\nI’m afraid to die because all of my ambition\, my plans\, my projects would come to an end. \n\n\n\nI’m afraid to die because I’m afraid the process of death might be painful. \n\n\n\n I’m afraid to die because I would no longer be able to have any experiences. \n\n\n\nIf I died\, I would no longer be able to care for my dependents. \n\n\n\nI’m afraid to die because I’m afraid of what might happen to me if there is life after death. \n\n\n\nI’m afraid to die because of what might happen to my body after I die. \n\n\n\n-We discussed ways we want to be remembered and the importance of planning and preparing\, writing it down \n\n\n\n-At a previous OCDC meeting\, Janet announced there was an update with medical aid in dying here in NC\, and we could get more information at dyingrightnc.org. \n\n\n\nBOOKS: \n\n\n\n–Smoke Gets in Your Eyes and Other Lessons From the Cremator\, Caitlin Doughty \n\n\n\n–The Beauty of What Remains:  How Our Greatest Fear Becomes Our Greatest Gift \n\n\n\n–Being Mortal\, Atul Gawande \n\n\n\n*Mentioned in a previous OCDC: Waiting for the Last Bus: Reflections onLife and Death\, Richard Holloway.

SUMMARY:Documentary Viewing and Speaker Series: Live and Let Go An American Death with Jay Niver
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\n\n\nThis award-winning documentary is a moving tribute to a life lived well and ended with dignity. \n\n\n\nJay Niver\, who volunteers with Final Exit Network\, will introduce the film and answer questions.
