Raise Awareness, Grief, Gerontology
Description : The loss of a friend- co-worker- or neighbor can be difficult- especially for those who have come to rely on these people over a lifetime. The loss can be especially difficult as others may not fully appreciate the impact of the loss of a non-family member. The first of three programs for the 2018 Begin With the End in Mind series will discuss Disenfranchised Grief- grief that is not recognized by others. The term- disenfranchised grief was first described by Kenneth Doka and continues to have meaning today as more people live well into their older adult years and face the loss of friends- co-workers and neighbors. Cathy Fox- MSW is the first presenter. She is the Director of Operations for Griefï¾s Journey (formerly Ted E. Bear Hollow). In her role she is responsible for development- implementation- and management of all Griefï¾s Journey programs. Her passion for the care and support of grieving families is evident in her work. Like past programming- this session promises to enlighten those who want to learn more about end of life concerns and wishes. Begin With the End in Mind discussions are free and open to the public including all staff and faculty in the UN system.

Topics:
Raise Awareness, Grief, Gerontology
Description : When a person is dying, spiritual concerns often become increasingly important. Questions arise related to life’s purpose and the impact of one’s life on others and the community. People may ask, “why is this happening to me” or “what does it mean to the world that I have lived." Some people focus on what comes after death. Spirituality is the essence of our inner being and hospice and palliative care consider spiritual care to be among the most important aspects of total care at the end of life. February's speaker is Executive Director of the Josie Harper House, Gary George.

Art, History
Description : Titian was a master of Renaissance painting and a genius at attracting powerful clients. Among these was Andrea deï¾ Franceschi (1473-1552)- the Grand Chancellor of the Venetian Republic. De' Franceschi was an elite government official at the top of his game who is also notable for his several portraits. One of theseï¾attributed to the workshop of Titianï¾is now at the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields. Using state of the art technology- Rebecca Norris- Ph.D.- and a collaborative team delved beneath the surface of the Andrea de' Franceschi portrait. X-rays- infrared reflectography- and pigment sampling revealed layers of evidence that align with Titianï¾s workshop practices. Some of the evidence may even point to Titian himself.
