To the Editor:

Maine has an aging population, many of whom want to live out their lives at home. The extended family is a thing of the past. Care facilities are closing. The challenges for family caregivers can be overwhelming. Preparing for inevitable death might be too much to handle for those living alone, and ‘there’s always tomorrow.’ But knowledge is power and to know the process beforehand could only be beneficial, especially at a time of great emotional stress.

Please join us for ‘Between the Final Breath and the Final Rest’, a presentation by funeral director Korey Mulherin, that will address the process and answer your questions, at the West Parish Congregational Church, 32 Church Street in Bethel, on Tuesday, April 16, from 2:30-3:30 p.m. Free to the public.
