| How and what can you do to help surviving spouse and children? Speaker: By Dr Indu Gambhir About the Speaker: Dr Indu Gambhir is a medical practitioner. In her practice through many years of Emergency medicine and family practice and counselling, she has seen that many patients do not make essential preparations for long-term illness or death. She will talk about how all family members should prepare their surviving spouses and grown up children about vital treatment decisions and documentation for handling the family affairs by the surviving spouse and children. Refreshments: The workshop will be followed by refreshments. Who is this for? The audience for this workshop is primarily for seniors. It should also be relevant, and of equal interest, to non-seniors and even younger people. All spouses and young adults are urged to attend. R.S.V.P. by Email: Arun Roy |
