Medications play an important role in promoting comfort and quality of life during serious illness and at the end of life. In this informative and compassionate session, participants will learn about common medications used to manage symptoms such as pain, anxiety, and breathing changes. We will explore how these medications work and their effects on the mind, body, and spirit. Designed for older adults and their families, this presentation offers clear, practical information to help individuals feel more informed and confident when navigating end-of-life care. Questions and open discussion are encouraged.
