"Facing the Wind"
Documentary Screening & Discussion
September 18, 2025
6:00-8:00 p.m.
In-Person* at The Tristesse Grief Center or by Zoom
Where do you turn when a mysterious dementia is stealing the love of your life? In partnership with The Tristesse Grief Center, join us for the award-winning documentary "Facing the Wind" followed by meaningful discussion with our panel. Therapists from The Grief Center, alongside past or present participants, will share about the support group communities they offer, how to connect with them, and the power of having a community that truly gets it. Caring for those with dementia can be isolating and care partners desperately need support, but friends and family often disappear. With honesty, tenderness, and dark humor, "Facing the Wind" invites viewers into the lives of people with Lewy body dementia and their care partners, revealing how a mutual support community can be an antidote to despair. This is true for every type of sickness, pain, or loss. Although the subjects of the film are facing dementia, this program intends to highlight their story as a vehicle to break down barriers, offer encouragement, and provide connection that will empower attendees to find their community. No matter the source of the loss... no matter how long ago or on the horizon... we hope you'll join us to learn more about the support community that's waiting for you.

Big Questions from Tiny Mortals About Death"

In-Person and Virtual Meetings Dates TBD
As we constantly strive to build community and encourage helpful conversations about the end of life, Hospice of Green Country has started a book club we affectionately call "The End" to nurture supportive relationships that we hope will bring participants closer to comfort with all things death and dying. For those who participated in 2024's Death Café series, "The End. Book Club" is our newest effort to bring us together to talk about the end of life, but with a different strategy to having the conversation.
- First, you don't have to read every book to be a member of this book club. Join the reading when it works for you!
- We host both, in-person and virtual meetings, at the end of each book. In-person locations vary each meeting.
- Participants vote and decide on our next book choices.
- People can join anytime! Simply email Christie Gibbs to get involved. Invite your loved ones too!
