What is an End-of-Life Care Plan and Why You Need One
Planning for the end of life isn’t easy to think about, let alone talk about, but it’s one of the most loving, empowering things you can do for yourself and the people you care about. An End-of-Life Care Plan is more than just a stack of legal documents. It’s a personalized roadmap that captures your values, wishes, and priorities for your final chapter.
End-of-life wishes
Although as a society we don’t like to talk about death and dying, most people have a wish that they will die peacefully, with dignity, and without any pain. Having your end-of-life instructions and financial affairs in order will give you and your loved one’s peace of mind.
