The Natural Funeral102 W. Chester St.Lafayette, CO 80026United States(720) 515-2344Overview of your Exit FileTM and choosing your person.
Give yourself and your family peace of mind by providing a map for them of your documents and wishes in the event of you not being able to speak for yourself. We will go through the Exit File™ binder I have developed that makes it doable to “fill in the blanks” and know that you have all your bases covered. We will also discuss how to choose your Medical Durable Power of Attorney, the most important decision you will make regarding your end-of-life wishes.

The key to being able to voice your choice at the end of life is first knowing what your values and beliefs are. Using different assessment tools and conversation we will discern what is important in death, (and thus in life!). We will also consider our emotional and spiritual legacy.

The Natural Funeral102 W. Chester St.Lafayette, CO 80026United States(720) 515-2344Living Will, Dementia Directives, CPR Directives and MOST forms
The standard Living Will only comes in to play in very limited circumstances, and does not address our stronger likelihood of our biggest fear, living with advanced disability or dementia. We will consider different ways to access an “exit ramp” if you find yourself not living with what you define as quality of life. We will also discuss the specific use of the CPR Directive and the MOST Forms.

Wayne Gilbert, a Denver poet, first encountered Death at Pablo’s Coffee Shop where he often goes to write. Death came directly over to Wayne’s table, sat down and began a conversation. These conversations continued over many months—not every day, but often enough the two became friends. Once, when Death was unavailable, Death sent Sorrow to meet Wayne. Thus, began another unlikely and unexpected relationship.
Wayne often wrote poems about these encounters with Death and with Sorrow. The members of Us-In-A-Box Theatre Workshop, Annell Weissenbuehler, Andrea Haus, Brennan Weissenbuehler, and Wayne Gilbert created a script from these poems for a thoughtful, provocative reader’s theatre-style poetry performance piece.
Us-In-A-Box hopes to encourage audience members to open their hearts and minds to a deeper understanding and acceptance of death and sorrow as natural aspects of a vital life.
A discussion will follow.
