DE Coalition of End of Life Awards Dinner

Some people just do the amazing work that the rest of us are either not equipped to do or find so very difficult doing... working with end of life (aka death) issues. This was a work occassion, since Wilmu is a sponsor for this coalition. I met some wonderful people this evening, and truly appreciate the good work they do! DE Secretary of Health & Human Services Rita Landgraff was a guest speaker, and she did and excellent job of bringing home the point that death is a transition point in life... we can't avoid it but we sure do try! According to statistics, soon Delaware will rank 9th in the USA for having a population over 60 years old. The Delaware End-of-Life Coalition should be seen as a resource for that point when we all have to deal with difficult conversations and decisions about the end of life.
