Age Strong's Death and Dying Series

A Three-Part series to Help Demystify End of Life

Navigating the end of life can feel overwhelming, especially when facing illness, loss of a spouse, or changes to physical or mental health. That’s why planning ahead can be very helpful for our peace of mind, not just for ourselves, but also for those we love. By preparing today, we can lessen confusion, stress, and fear with clarity and calm. 

Age Strong invites Boston’s older residents to attend a free three- part event series designed to help explain and demystify the end of life process. These sessions offer a supportive space to learn and ask questions.
