Unravelling Complexities

Tying Up Loose Ends (TULE), the Maleny based death literacy group, is kicking off its 2024 program on Sunday March 24, from 2 – 4pm with a conversation covering a few basic matters that require our attention before death. It will also encompass some myth-busting about palliative care, a service which offers care and support through the dying process.

Their first speaker, Jacqui Thomas (pictured), is the founding director of Sun Wills & Estates. Jacqui is driven by her desire to provide compassionate legal guidance and support to families to ensure their loved ones are taken care of and legacies are preserved. She will be presenting an introduction to estate planning, including the four main documents that constitute an estate plan – the Will, Letter of Wishes, Enduring Power of Attorney, and Advanced Health Directive.

The second speaker, Zoe Falconer, is a Palliative Care Nurse and RN who works with Hospital In Your Home (HIYH), a Sunshine Coast Hospital Health Service (SCHHS) program allowing locals to receive acute care at home instead of in hospital. Zoe will introduce us to palliative care, what it is, how it can be accessed and details of the services available. The facts will be grounded in stories that reflect Zoe’s personal experience in the palliative care field.

There will be time for questions following each speaker’s presentation, so come prepared. The event will be held at the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre (17 Bicentenary Lane, Maleny).

Tickets $10.00 available on trybooking, visit: trybooking.com/CPNDR, or cash sales at the door. Afternoon tea will be included.
