Whether you have firm opinions on what type of funeral service you’d like or what medical treatment you want to receive in your final days, it’s important to communicate your desires to your family sooner rather than later. Waiting for the unforeseen to happen means you risk leaving your loved ones to make difficult decisions in the midst of their pain and grief.
As much as our culture tries to avoid the topic, death is something we all must face. The older one gets, the more important it is to start an open, honest discussion about certain end-of-life preparations. How will you spend your remaining days? Who will take care of you as you approach the end? What sort of legal matters should you get taken care of before it is too late? What is the easiest way to help friends and family cope with your impending death? These are all important questions to ask yourself when you are dealing with end-of-life preparations.
