Description:
When we think of death and dying, we often gravitate towards the most common images of those words: grave, burial, cremation. However, those ideas simply identify an abrupt “end point” over which we have little no control. What if we had conversations around the “before” of death; whether these decision are at the onset of a life changing diagnosis or significantly prior to death. This webinar will explore decisions you can assist your clients and patients to think about; and indeed, that many are curious about, long before significant illnesses or death. Of the many positive benefits of advanced preparation for death, planning will make the process and the event less traumatic, less scary, and less fraught with rushed decisions and regrets. Join us for this unique webinar that will assist you in having the conversations to help clients with these crucial decisions. Join Marilyn Moldowan, RN, BScN and be inspired to think “outside of the casket”.

Marilyn Moldowan, RN, BScN

Raised on the family farm in rural Saskatchewan, Marilyn’s first job at 18, was working in long-term care where her duties as a nurse’s aide included washing the bodies of those who died, shrouding them, and taking them to the morgue. This introduction to the nursing profession made an indelible impression on her. After obtaining her RN and BScN, she had a broad range of experiences, working on medical- surgical units, tele-triage, and palliative home care. Care of sick and dying adults has always been a special interest of hers and she moved from bedside care to providing “Death Navigation” education to groups and organizations who have the need, desire, and a healthy curiosity for authentic communications about death and dying. She was recently invited to be a co-presenter at the. IPONS conference (International Philosophy of Nursing Society) in Sydney, Australia, exploring Nietzsche’s philosophy of death. Marilyn is a fierce advocate for informed decision making. Her goal is to inspire people to think “outside of the casket” and lessen the fear around death and dying.
