Die Well Death Education- Session 6: MAID (Medical Aid in Dying)

About this event

Morrell Meeting Room. We will discuss MAID: Medical Aid in Dying, focusing primarily on Maine’s Death with Dignity Act. This is the process by which competent and terminally ill state residents who are within 6 (six) months of death may legally obtain oral prescription medication for which they may voluntarily take without assistance to peacefully end their life. Die Well Death Education is the passion project of Leona Oceania. Always fascinated with death and baffled by the fact that we don’t talk about the one thing that will happen to all of us, she decided to do what she could to encourage that conversation. She is a trained End-of-Life Doula, Home Funeral Guide, Life Legacy Facilitator, and Death Educator. She serves on the board of the Funeral Consumers Alliance of Maine and is an active bedside volunteer with Maine Death with Dignity. Leona offers several death education presentations, series, and Death Cafes in Maine. She loves to nap. *Individually wrapped, homemade skull cakelets will be provided.
