Life & Death: A Program of Stories and Music

The journey of living, loving and dying is one that benefits from spiritual reflections, thoughtful preparations and an understanding of all aspects surrounding death.

Join Father Tom Hickey, along with representatives from Midwest Palliative & Hospice CareCenter—Chief Medical Officer Martha Twaddle, MD; Counseling Services Manager Brian Berger; Chaplain Fr. Frank Kamp; and Music-thanatologist Margaret Pasquesi—for this contemplative program. They will provide stories with music that address the profound and tender moments that occur for a seriously ill person and their family.

The program will touch on the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of living and dying, and will address issues that arise during sudden death and loss. Music will be provided by members of the Midwest CareCenter Music Care Services team.
