Silver City -- The next meeting of the monthly "Life Cafe" takes place Thursday, May 25, at 4:00 pm at the Silver City Public Library, when Siri Dharma Khalsa, former Hospice staff member, will discuss end of life planning documents, such as living wills, advance directives and do-not-resuscitate orders, and how to ensure that they are honored.
The monthly, 90-minute life cafe is free, and facilitated by Lisa Jimenez, certified death doula and practitioner of Shamanic healing arts.
"This month we'll be taking a deep dive into planning for end of life, and helping participants understand their own values and their personal wishes for their end of life care," said Jimenez. "Each of us has our own idea of what a good death looks like and planning for it now allows us to live more fully in the present. Having a solid plan helps ensure that our wishes will be honored, so that we can have a beautiful end of life experience, not only for ourselves but for our loved ones as well."
Jimenez added that there is no intention to lead people to specific actions, conclusions, products or services.
