Preparing for Loss: Steps Before, During, and After the Loss of a Loved One

Community event at UW-Superior deals with steps before, during and after the loss of a loved one

The end of life is an inevitable reality for ourselves and everyone else, but that doesn't mean that we know what we will be called upon to decide or do.

The University of Wisconsin-Superior's Center for Continuing Education is addressing these issues with a community forum Preparing for Loss: Steps Before, During, and After the Loss of a Loved One. This event will take place Tuesday, March 24, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at UW-Superior in Swenson Hall, room 1016. Cost is $10, which includes a light meal and a resource and services guide. The event is sponsored by the Lenroot-Maetzold Funeral Home.

This community forum will provide crucial information about how to deal effectively with the loss of a loved one. Legal, emotional, and practical advice will be given on what actions to take and how to best cope with a loss by knowing what to do and when.

Speakers include Ben Wolfe, trainer, consultant, and former Program Manager/Grief Therapist of St. Mary's Medical Center Grief Support Services; Bill Downs, from the Lenroot-Maetzold Funeral Home; and attorney Terry Trogdon, who will offer her expertise on estate law. Participants will receive a resource and service guide and refreshments will be served.
