​

In the event of a serious illness or accident?

In the face of a terminal diagnosis?

A diagnosis of dementia?

For growing older and some of the challenges that arrive? 

For death?

​

My experience has taught me that preparing for difficult circumstances is one of the gifts you give to yourself and to others in your life.  In one's life, we typically prepare for events on a welcoming basis:  Choosing a college, navigating a career, planning a wedding, making our life plans of retirement, travel, or whatever our dreams are made of.  Yet, with age comes illness in some form or another and, eventually, death.

 

Most of us don't give much thought to preparing for a terminal illness or for dying.  Yet... there is a lot to plan for and to consider.  Believe it or not, the process of talking about these things before they arrive will give you and your loved ones greater peace of mind.
