Jeff served over four years as a hospice chaplain in King County. He provided spiritual care to hundreds of hospice patients, their families, and caregivers. Here he will talk about hospice, his work as a hospice chaplain, the dying process, how hospice manages the dying process, signs of impending death, grief and mourning, and prayers and practices at the end of life. The talk is open to all and there will be time afterwards for discussion.
