We had 3 Paul Harris Fellow recipients receive pins today for their support of the Rotary Foundation.
Congratulations to Kyle Bargman, Kim Nearhood +2, and Jeff Kingsbury +4. Your support helps Rotary projects continue around the world.
Our speaker today was Beth Walz Davis. She is a certified End of Life Doula. She assists clients and their loved ones by planning and coordinating end-of-life care and grief groups. Beth shared some personal experiences with death and grief. She emphasized that while death is part of a natural cycle, our culture is "death phobic", afraid to think about or plan for death; and have what she calls an aversion to grief. We have the capacity to choose when we leave and our bodies know how to leave. She encourages her clients to plan, to help them have those conversations on how "end of life" should look. For example, does the person like to be touched, read to, sang to, or they may just want you Present.
She provided some insight on dealing with grief -- honoring grief no matter when it shows up. It is important to find a way to talk about your loss and to tell stories.
