The AoD Presents:
How to Make a Death Plan
(Before You Need One)
January 22nd, 6:00 - 7:30pm
Leaves Bakery & Books
Fort Worth, Texas
$30
We know making a death plan might sound daunting, but it’s pre-planning at its finest. And it’s not just about death, it’s about understanding options at the end of our lives so we can be as prepared, supported and fulfilled a s possible. All of which doesn’t happen overnight - that’s why making a plan before you need one is so beneficial.
During the 75-minute workshop, we will review the five areas of The AoD Digital Binder so you can learn, about, and begin gathering information on, decisions for your end-of-life.
