There’s no way to know what will ultimately pave the way to your final exit. However\, that doesn’t mean you should abdicate all responsibilities related to your ultimate ending. To do so could likely lead to a very distressing situation for you\, your family\, and your medical team. Thus\, you and yours are much better served by considering the future “what ifs” and your medical preferences. Furthermore\, reflect on what truly makes life worth living. What constitutes an acceptable quality of life? Upon answering the question\, share your reflections with those responsible for your care. Your preferences will lay the groundwork for an exit strategy that serves all concerned quite well. The program is FREE. Registration is REQUIRED.

More than likely\, it’s the times of trial and tribulation that informed and influenced your journey the most. Adversity pushes us beyond our previously perceived limits—our comfort zone. The death of loved one. The diagnosis of a serious illness. Grieving significant losses. Termination of employment. Imprisonment. Challenged by life\, we can choose to be diminished by life OR emboldened. When considering the choices made by Sheryl Sandberg\, Viktor Frankl\, and Nelson Mandela\, we realize that adversity often serves as a segue to positive transformation. Please join us to explore the afterglow of adversity—the opportunity to rise strong (a la Brene Brown)! The program is FREE. Registration is REQUIRED.

With Jane Barton and Arapahoe County Libraries DESCRIPTION:What’s Your Thing? \nMany people struggle to understand the “Why?” of Life when dealing with the challenges of aging\, serious disease\, and the reality of mortality. In the book\, Iona Iverson’s Rules for Commuting written by Clare Pooley\, a purpose or passion in life is referred to as “your thing.” Lacking an awareness of “your thing\,” the journey of Life is merely an endurance test. However\, if we believe that every moment is an opportunity to contribute to Life in meaning-FULL ways\, the journey of Life becomes an experience to be embraced and enjoyed. Therefore\, it is imperative to remember that the world awaits what only we have to offer as unique individuals. In return\, our lives are enriched beyond measure whether we have 20 years or 20 minutes remaining. The program is FREE. Registration is REQUIRED.

As dementia changes the way the brain processes information\, successful communication requires us as care partners to adapt our approach\, rather than expect the person with brain change to adapt to ours. \nThis engaging workshop provides practical strategies for creating more meaningful and successful interactions with people living with dementia. Participants will learn how sensory changes\, visual perception\, the brain’s stress response\, and the environment all influence communication. Through real-life examples and practical tools\, participants will discover how to improve their communication skills with their loved ones\, and tailor their approach to the unique strengths and needs of each individual with dementia. The result is greater understanding\, less frustration\, and more opportunities for connection. \nFree to attend (Sponsored by the Colorado Respite Coalition) \nRegister: https://helpfulcommunicationtools.eventbrite.com URL:https://coloradorespitecoalition.org/event/helpful-tools-for-communicating-with-people-living-with-dementia-with-kay-adams/ LOCATION:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://coloradorespitecoalition.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Helpful-Tools-to-Communicate-with-People-Living-with-Dementia3.png ORGANIZER;CN="Compassion Works%2C LLC":MAILTO:kay@kaymadams.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20260926T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20260926T120000 DTSTAMP:20260901T194939Z CREATED:20260901T194939Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260901T194939Z UID:4212-1790413200-1790424000@coloradorespitecoalition.org SUMMARY:The Gift of Showing Up: How Supporting Dementia Caregivers Can Enrich Your Life DESCRIPTION:Whether you are caring for someone with dementia or want to better support a caregiver in your life\, this engaging workshop will equip you with practical tools to make a meaningful difference.
