East Rockville MD online meeting
A write up of East Rockville Online Death Cafe EST
By AmesSandra
The July 22 Pump House Village Death Café took place as a Zoom meeting co-sponsored by Assisting Hands Home Care. VIllage members, Sandra Ames and Patricia Dubroof facilitated. The concerns brought out by this month’s participants had to do with the complications and challenges presented by loved ones living with Alzheimer’s Disease or various types of dementia. Several participants had cared for parents with these diagnoses, and spoke of accepting this state of being. Others were currently caring for loved ones and were able to share their concerns, including being themselves elderly and realizing the need for making sure plans for their partner’s financial and health well-being were in place should they die first.
There were eight participants but many more people signed up. If you are considering joining future meetings, please do as we have welcomed international visitors as well as people from our neighborhood in our Zoom meetings.
