Doug Smith will lead a four-hour workshop, "Final Rights: Caring for People in the Final Phases of Life," at 4 p.m. March 3 at the Shinnyo En Temple, Hale Hauoli Hall, 2348 S. Beretania St.

Smith is the author of several books, including "Caregiving: Hospice-Proven Techniques for Healing Body and Soul," "The Complete Book of Counseling the Dying and Grieving," "Being a Wounded Healer," and "The Tao Of Dying."

Presented by St. Francis Hospice, the free workshop covers the right to be in control; the right to have a sense of purpose; the right to touch and be touched; the right to have one's beliefs and values respected; the right to hear the truth; the right to be in denial; the right to reminisce; and the right to laugh.
