Death in Pagosa Springs-A Murder Mystery or Panel Discussion??
Sounds like it could be a good murder mystery. But, it is a panel discussion to be held on Monday, July 22, at 1PM at the Ruby Sission Library Large Meeting Room. One of the many problems with death is that we usually don’t get much notice. It catches people unaware and unprepared. The members of our panel will try to help us do better so we can help our loved ones make better & easier decisions knowing what our thoughts and wishes are because we have thought and talked about options & choices that can be made.
The panel should include the Archuleta County Coroner, a sheriff deputy, a doctor, a grief counselor and a representative from a local mortuary. We will also be discussing various assistance that can be given at the end of life. It will not be a discussion of values & morals, but options and choices that people have. We will have Advanced Directives available. We are also hoping that individuals attending will contribute experiences and insights.
The Pagosa Earth Community is doing this 2-part program to honor the memory of Dr. Karen Goodwin who was a founding member of the Pagosa Earth Community. People were asked to do something to make the the world a better place in her memory. We hope this will be a fitting tribute to a wonderful, talented & conscientious friend.
A follow-up discussion will be held in early August at the library for issues & questions that need more time. The date & time will be announced later.
We also ask you to mark your calendar for a stimulating & inspiring talk by Fran Korten. She will be speaking at the Library on September 10th or 11th. Her husband, David Korten is the reason we have a Pagosa Earth Community. They both started YES MAGAZINE. Hope to see you soon!
