What to Expect When You’re Expecting the End -- Richard Coble, Ph.D.

Accompanying someone through their last moments can be a difficult experience. Many are familiar with Elizabeth Kubler-Ross’s five stages as a model for this experience, but life does not always follow the rules. How do such stages of grief help us, and where might they get in the way? Drawing on his experience as a minister and a hospital chaplain, pastoral theologian Richard Coble will lead us in a conversation about grief, experience, and coming to terms with loss.
