Swarga Rohan - Planning for the Life's journey

Sunday - April 28, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Maanaw Seva is organizing a one day symposium. This symposium will cover the topics surrounding medical and legal issues that happen around the end of life, and how we can prepare ourselves for it.

What does that mean? Before a terminal event causes death, all of us are more likely to suffer a life threatening medical event that lands us in hospital. With modern medical technology, physicians can keep us “alive” for a long time (with ventilators, etc.) even if we are totally incapacitated/ unconscious. These events can cause a lot of mental, physical and financial hardships to our near and dear relatives. Also, at these moments, the healthcare providers, in the absence of Living Directives, look to the next of kin/surrogates for direction, as to the patients wishes on what they would have liked done for the patient. So, in addition to the stress of a close relative being seriously unwell, the next of kin is then burdened with making life altering decisions on your life. Also, matters may get worse if there is disagreement between siblings as to the way they move forward.

The purpose of this presentation is to prepare you for this reality, plan and help your spouse/partner and children cope in a planned and safe manner for this unenviable eventuality.
