This book discussion will be facilitated by Susan Hoskins, a retired licensed social worker,
certified in gerontology, with a long career in aging services.
Are you thinking about your own aging or accompanying a family member, friend or meeting member as they journey through aging to dying? Are you wondering what Friends have to say about these stages?
We will explore one chapter at each session. You can attend all 6 or just the ones that speak to you. Sessions will be on Zoom to be more accessible. The first chapter is Completing Your Life: Spirit-led Aging.
“From the Baltimore Yearly Meeting’s End of Life Working Group, A Tender Time is a unique collection of Quaker voices, historical and contemporary, that explores practical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of aging and dying well. It moves in widening circles, from aging to dying, and from primary caregiver to friends to the whole faith community. It illustrates how individual Friends make end of life decisions guided by the Spirit and Quaker values.” (Pendle Hill Bookstore description)
