Thanks for this hugely important guide.There is so much to think about and talk about when it comes to the subject of death and dying, which for many is taboo. This should help us all think about how to proceed.
I have been thinking about this subject lately, and this seems really timely. I like this conversation idea so much because it feels reflective, not just sad. Like, who are you, what do you most want out of life? "What does she like to do? How important is getting back to ballroom dancing? How comfortable would she be if she's homebound? We need to understand who the person is..." This feels like a way of honoring and knowing someone, not just planning for the worst.
So helpful and in depth. I appreciate conversations and reporting like this that address the issue of the whole person, and not just as a body or super-medicalized. I also like the emphasis on multiple conversations and that it doesn’t require money or a lawyer, and so is accessible to more people. Thank you for this article!!
