The perfect goodbye: Hosting a living wake in the age of voluntary assisted dying

How will you plan your final farewell?

Would you want to attend your own wake?

Voluntary assisted dying (VAD) is empowering Australians to better plan for their final days.

Hear from Kath Keogh, who helped plan a living wake for her partner Nigel, funeral director and end-of-life doula Ben Gibson and VAD practitioner Dr Bu O'Brien, at this free Dying to Know Day webinar hosted by Go Gentle Australia's CEO Dr Linda Swan.

This webinar is produced for Dying to Know Day, an annual event that empowers all adult Australians to be strong self-advocates and improve their knowledge around choices for their end-of-life.

It will be held 21 August at 7pm AEST.
