Synopsis
Growing older can be a beautiful journey when we are prepared in both heart and mind. In this workshop, a lawyer will gently guide us through practical steps like making a Will and planning ahead with peace of mind. A palliative care doctor will also share how we can embrace aging with joy, meaning, and strength, even when facing illness. Come and be encouraged as we learn how to age gracefully together.
Bio of speakers
Dr Jamie Zhou is a Senior Consultant at Assisi Hospice and the National Cancer Centre, Singapore. Her clinical interests are in pain management and integrating supportive care in intensive care units. She is actively involved in medical education which includes communication skills training, narrative medicine and the medical humanities.
Ms Nancy Thio loves life as much as she loves travelling, but limited to the extent that she’s not aging as fast as she talks. Like many aspects of her life, Nancy has surrendered her process of aging to God (how can she not) with a daily caveated prayer subtly imploring God to always make her look and feel 20 years younger (Amen). When she’s not stuffing her face with good food or guilt tripping her kids, she can be found lawyering in her own law firm holed up in Chinatown, advancing causes she believes in and helping people to resolve their disputes in Court or serve lesser time in jail (sometimes unsuccessfully but she tries). In an attempt to not reveal her age, it suffices to say that Nancy has been a lawyer for an egregious amount of time and her legal practice covers a wide spectrum of dispute matters, including family law.
Come listen to Nancy on her take on the legal aspects of Aging Gracefully as she draws on her legal experience and shares root and branch on how you can prepare yourself to age gracefully with a peace of mind. Topics: when you lose mental capacity, executing a lasting power of attorney, drawing up a Will.
