END OF LIFE

HONOR

Do you know your parents’ wishes regarding end-of-life care?

These conversations can be difficult, but knowing what your parents want can provide tremendous peace of mind when the time comes to make difficult decisions. Understanding their wishes regarding medical treatment, life support, hospice, funeral or memorial arrangements, and other end-of-life matters allows you to honor their choices while reducing uncertainty for the entire family.

While talking about the end of a loved one’s life, and preparing for it, can be uncomfortable and difficult, the alternative of not talking about it can be much worse.

Being prepared for end-of-life issues and death of a loved one is essential.

Topics covered in the end-of-life podcast include:

  • The four C’s of decision making regarding end-of-life: comfort, companionship, control, and communications
  • Sample questions covering the four C’s to get conversations started
  • Communication tips and techniques

After listening to this podcast, you will be more aware of the concerns of those approaching the end of life and familiar with the questions that need to be answered to address quality-of-life issues.
