Centenary UMC Seminar - The Last Things We Talk About, October 7, 2023
Guest Speaker: Rev. Dr. Elizabeth T. Boatwright, BCC-PCHAC, CFP, Relief Chaplain in Oncology Outpatient Palliative Care Medicine at Stanford Health Care and author of The Last Things We Talk About: Your Guide to End of Life Transitions (Bull Publishing, 2021.)
Title: The Last Things We Talk About
A life-altering medical diagnosis creates an opportunity for us to start the conversation with our families about end-of-life matters, and create inventories of important papers for heirs and estate planning. Then when a person dies, the second inventory of tasks for the executor/personal representative is required to complete the estate process. This 2 hour seminar is designed to equip people in knowing how to "put their house in order, " and live the rest of their life in joy and celebration.
Learning Objectives:
To inspire people to have a head start regarding end of life inventories and tasks and the confidence to be engaged in living every day to the end.
To encourage stewardship in understanding the cast of characters in the medical universe, and to plan for the inevitable costs of long term illness and death.
To engage in communication with family members so that the “treasure hunt and competition” of estate matters is minimal.
Biography:
As a Chaplain, Pastor and Certified Financial Planner, Elizabeth “Libby” Boatwright has worked alongside hundreds of people over the last thirty-five years counseling families on end of life issues, loss, and grief, composing memorials, working alongside lawyers with estate plans, and educating people with coping skills in the midst of crises. In The Last Things We Talk About, Boatwright offers ways to put together a “white book” a simple binder or flash drive of all the materials a family will need when one passes on their legacy. As one completes the exercise, the heirs will avoid what she calls “the treasure hunt”- the endless search for all the data lost in transition or hidden in corners and storage. More importantly, she offers the “why” for each division to motivate people to finish the project and get on with life. Libby has been a lecturer in universities and colleges and medical settings, along with her work as a seminar leader at national conventions, faith, and community centers, parenting groups, senior fellowships, and estate planning forums. She has published articles in Cancer.net and Morningstar, and CSA Journal, and written articles for or has been featured in Barron's and newspapers in Portland, San Jose, San Francisco, and Honolulu as well as hosted her own radio show, “The Fiscal Therapist” on KAIM. She has also appeared on ABC Nightly News. Libby’s graduate degrees include Master's Degrees from UC Berkeley, San Francisco State University, and a Masters of Divinity from Fuller Seminary, a Doctor of Ministry in Semiotics and Future Studies from George Fox University, and certifications, Certified Financial Planner and Board Certified Chaplain with Advanced Certification in Hospice and Palliative Care.
