Posted by celderkin on February 13, 2013

Saturday March 9, 9am ? 4pm

Until the latter part of the 19th century, most people were born and died in their own homes. When they were born, their family cared for them; when they died, their family cared for them. Dying, like birthing, was integrated into living. Caring for those who had died was not only the last act of love, it was the first step of healing.
