Please join us for a Dying to Know event facilitated by Rod Cole and and Kellie Hartnoll-White on Saturday 8th August at 2.30pm at your Port Macquarie Library.
This is a free event, registrations essential, and afternoon tea will be provided.

Death and dying, what does it mean to embrace it, instead of fearing it? What if our mortality could be the catalyst for a life well lived?

Mid North Coast Grief Collective is hosting a Dying to Know Day event. “Where conversations about grief and end of life become community wisdom”
Dying to Know Day is a national campaign in Australia that encourages individuals to approach the inevitable not with fear, but with purpose, compassion and intention. We don’t have many spaces to talk about living and dying. Let’s make time to come together, be curious and be better informed. Here is an opportunity to come together and support each other.

This 90-minute event, hosted by 2 local death educators will include:
Informative discussion around the misconceptions and facts of dying.
Explore what we most dread about dying and what we are most hopeful for.
How do you talk about death and dying?
Let’s prepare for a tender conversation with a loved one.

ABOUT THE FACILITATORS:
Kellie Hartnoll-White is a Social Work student, End of Life specialist, and the Founder of Embrace, a practice dedicated to compassionate, person led support around death, dying, loss and grief.
