Confident Conversations: Discussing End-of-Life Health Care Wishes
As we age, one of the nicest gifts we can give to our loved ones (and ourselves) is a candid conversation about healthcare and end-of-life wishes. Planning ahead can provide joy and peace of mind.
In this session, you’ll:
- Learn how to reduce the stress families often face when determining healthcare decisions
- Get comfortable having practical discussions before unexpected circumstances occur
- Walk away armed with resources to begin the planning process
