Talking about Dying

A new statewide initiative by Oregon Humanities, created in partnership with Cambia Health Foundation. These one-time, ninety-minute conversations will provide opportunities for participants to reflect on the stories and influences that shape their thinking about death and dying and to hear different perspectives and ideas from fellow community members.

By exploring essential questions—What do we think about when we think of dying? When we think about our own dying, what do we want most?—the program aims to help participants consider how to shape a meaningful approach to death and dying. Facilitators of Talking about Dying programs are trained professionals working in the fields of chaplaincy, counseling, gerontology, facilitation, and hospice care.
