About

The complex topic of end-of-life care is discussed here with care, clarity, and without unnecessary fear. The conversation will help understand what palliative care is, why there is so much silence around death, and how to find honest words of support for loved ones, children, and people with terminal illnesses in the most vulnerable moments of life. The topic of death often remains outside of ordinary conversation: it is postponed, sidestepped, replaced with awkward pauses or overly general phrases. But it is precisely in such moments that a person especially needs clarity, involvement, and words that do not hurt. The lecture offers a calm look at what is usually kept silent and explores how to talk about the finiteness of life honestly, gently, and without a sense of helplessness. At the center of the meeting is palliative care. Attendees will learn what this concept entails, who needs it, and why its significance will grow. The discussion will cover not only the medical side of the issue but also the human dimension: supporting the family, talking to a terminally ill person, respecting their feelings, and their right to be heard. Where to go in St. Petersburg, we tell on our website.
