I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT…the end of life discussion dilemma

Do you have a bucket list of things you'd like to accomplish in your life? Have you thought about how your end-of-life scenario may play out? Does the thought of dying or a loved one dying scare you, and you'd rather not talk about it?I Don't Want to Talk About It was created from hearing people's stories and witnessing end-of-life scenarios. Each chapter has real-life scenarios that will help you be better informed and will guide you through conversations you might be uncomfortable having. Having a discussion with a loved one about their care, their comfort, and their funeral wishes, even their dying wishes, is easy to ignore, but it will leave a lot of unanswered questions that should be discussed prior to a medical emergency or even death.What is your living legacy, and how do you want to be remembered? Talking about things now will greatly enhance your living legacy and will also allow for decisions to be made in advance without leaving loved ones guessing what you would have wanted or the uncertainty of not knowing what your loved one would have wanted.Our decisions and conversations today will shape our future and the futures of those close to us. We don't want to talk about it...but let's start now.
