"Peace of Mind Project"
Experts agree that the time to discuss your views about end-of-life care and your final wishes is before a life-threatening illness, prime of life, or a crisis hits. This greatly reduces the stress of making decisions about end-of-life care under duress. By preparing in advance, you can let your loved ones know now - when you are still able to effectively communicate - of your preferences for matters such as treatment during a terminal illness, estate planning, funeral arrangements, and other final wishes. Professionals in legal/estate planning, funeral arrangements, and other final wishes. Professionals in legal/estate planning, long term care options, hospice, and funeral preparations will provide information you need to make informed decisions. Free. Four part series.
