Join author Margaret Rice in a free Q&A session at the Ron Dyer Centre, 42 Ridge St, North Sydney on Thursday 1 June from 7-9pm. Refreshments will be served.

“None of us are getting out of life alive is true and confronting. But we rarely talk about this shared human reality. This important presentation, Understand Death Better, will explore in a clear and compassionate way the issues around preparing for death, supporting each other as we face our own death and accompany those we love, the process of grieving, and the choices we have so we can die with dignity. See you there.” Rev Dr Richard Leonard SJ, Parish Priest, North Sydney.
