This short article, in a Canadian online newspaper, offers a good reminder about putting your end-of-life wishes as the top of your to-do list. The author notes that:
“Studies show that people who have conversations about their end-of-life preferences are much more likely to be satisfied with the care received.”
Four steps to guide conversations about your advance care plan include:
1. Reflect on what makes life meaningful to you
2. Find out your care options and choose a substitute decision maker
3. Talk about your wishes
4. Write it down — just like a will
These four steps are fleshed-out in the article. Find the article here:
