Death workshop draws crowd of 250 in Bennington
Geoffrey Chapman reports on the opening of the Death and Dying Workshop at Bennington College hosted by Putnam Memorial Hospital. A 31 year old leukemia patient shared a life lesson about living in the moment, drawing a large turnout of mostly women and professionals reflecting a national interest in confronting mortality. The Rev. Lee Udell, chaplain at the Medical Center Hospital of Vermont, framed death in human and emotional terms rather than religious, noting a shift from home deaths in the 1900 era to modern era coping. See DEATH on back page.
