End of Life Planning


There is one thing certain: death. Often we don’t want to face that truth. We would rather pretend that it won’t happen. However, this sad and emotional time is easier on loved ones if there has been advance planning done.


Five Wishes by Aging with Dignity covers the following:

1. The person I choose as my health care agent

2. The kinds of treatments I want or don’t want

3. How comfortable I want to be

4. How I want people to treat me

5. What I want my loved ones to know


Some people have an opinion on what should be done with their body after they die, what type of ceremony that will be held in their memory and where to make donations. These open conversations will reduce some of the stress that happens when family members disagree on what should be done. It is a great service that you do for your loved ones when you make these difficult decisions ahead of time.
