Reimagine: A Life Preparing for Death: Tales from Ancient Greece

Speaker: Tyson Sukava, Assistant Professor of Classics, University of Delaware- With elaborate traditions and burial practices, the ancient Greeks influenced numerous cultures around the world. Even though death was feared, the ancient Greeks created the idea that death is not the end, but the beginning. Join us as Tyson Sukava, Assistant Professor of Classics at the University of Delaware, shares a glimpse into how the ancient Greeks lived and what they believed would happen after death.

Honoring Choices® Delaware has teamed up with the University of Delaware Blue Hen Leadership Program to host several workshops in partnership with the worldwide virtual event week, Reimagine. The weeklong event has taken a virtual shape this year and with the pandemic over the past year are ever more important to help our community “explore death and celebrate life.”

This week long event encompasses National Healthcare Decisions Day on Friday, April 16th. In this life, there are only two constant things, Tax Day (April 15th) and death. There is much planning and preparing of documents that goes into Tax Day and why not the same for our death?

Reimagine is an opportunity for our community to view death in a new light and have the opportunity to understand their healthcare options. Many of the events are free conversations and interactive workshops, discussions ranging on various topics from relaxation, resilience, mind and body balance, starting the end-of-life conversation, and more.
