Voices Three, Helen Austin, Sue Pyper and Judy Wing, will be performing “The Last Rhapsody” at th National Advance Care Planning Day Reception and Art Exhibit April 16th .
Hosted by Berwick Comox Valley, it will happen from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
The “Last Rhapsody”, based on Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, is a parody that visits the themes that may or may not arise in time to say goodbye.
This work was written by Voices Three, long-time supporters of Comox Valley Hospice Society, as their submission to the heARTful Expressions which celebrates the many ways people may explore issues related to advance care planning and end of life conversations.
Live music, refreshments and draw prizes will round out the day’s celebrations.
Earlier in the day an Advance Care Planning Educational Open House takes place from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. and will include videos, resources and conversations.
You can expect to come away with information, suggestions and tools for starting the conversation with your family and friends and how to develop your own advance care plan.
You are invited to consider putting advance care planning on your ‘bucket list’ and gifting yourself and those you love with the knowledge of what your voice would be if you were ever unable to speak for yourself.
Please join us for any or all of these events and put your heART into advance care planning: Have the conversation; Express your wishes; Allow your voice to be heard; Reveal what is important to you; Tell those you love.
Both of these events are open to the public. As space is limited please register by contacting the Comox Valley Hospice Society at 250-339-5533, or visit the online event registration site here
