About this event
Cambridge Neighbors Presents:"Achieving A Good Death with Chris Palmer" (virtual)
Thursday, December 5
11:00 a.m.
There is an art to dying well that can be taught and learned. While death is inevitable, dying badly is not. Author and end-of-life activist Chris Palmer will explain how a good death is achievable. He says, "This book started about a decade ago when I realized I was petrified of dying and resolved to confront this fear. My parents and three brothers, including my twin Jon, all died badly, and I was determined that my own end would be different. This book is the result of searching for answers to questions like how to deal with dementia, when it is appropriate to hasten death, and how we can talk about death and dying more openly."
Praise for Achieving a Good Death...
“[A]n important and incredibly useful book…. Everyone should read this book and imbibe its wisdom.” - Steven Petrow, contributing columnist, The Washington Post, and author of Stupid Things I Won't Do When I Get Old
