About this course:
Every story has an ending. Death marks the end of a story. Our culture and individual backgrounds influence how we view death. In some cultures, death is accepted as a natural part of life and is embraced, in other cultures; death is a formal event beside a grave. The certainty of facing death and bereavement and the complex personal and societal issues involved argue for the importance of having information regarding death and dying.
