Embracing Our Dying is a resource for Catholics facing end-of-life issues. We chose the name Embracing Our Dying because we know that if those who are dying are embraced by their family and their community, they will not seek death, but will live their last days well, and then accept death when it comes.

Our site provides useful information for individuals, families and/or parish communities. Included on the site is an overview of Catholic moral theology on death and dying, current medical and hospital practices, the state of the law regarding end-of-life issues, articles of interest, church documents, information on parish nurses, parish health ministry, hospice care and other parish-based services, and answers to frequently asked questions.
