WASHAA Webinar featuring a viewing and discussion of the highly acclaimed documentary film “Speaking of Dying” www.speakingofdying.com

This 30 minute documentary shines a clear, bright light on death through the words and stories of patients, family members and medical providers. It is designed to empower viewers to learn about, and speak more openly about, their own end of life choices and desires. It is also a gentle tool that can be used by professionals to encourage and support meaningful conversations with clients, patients and their own families.

Trudy James, Founder and CEO of Heartwork is a seminary graduate and retired hospital chaplain who learned hands-on lessons about death, dying and grief in the early days of the AIDS epidemic in the South. Her ground-breaking work with AIDS was honored in the Clinton White House. Later, she created an AIDS Care Team program in Seattle and served as a chaplain at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. When she retired, she spent four years pioneering community-based end of life planning groups and two years producing a film that reflects the heart of those groups.
