End-of-Life planning can be an uncomfortable subject, bringing forth thoughts and ideas we instinctively try to suppress. Like planning for other life events, having a plan, and even just moving through the process of planning, can ease anxiety and give one a sense of control. As with many areas of our life, the process can be as important as the outcome. Identifying your personal priorities and communicating them to those closest to you can help increase your quality of life immediately. It can also help guide decisions along your journey, including if you ever need someone to speak on your behalf. These discussions allow your loved ones to better understand your feelings and intentions, potentially easing their burden a little as well. We have put together a list of organizations and websites to help guide you to those who can best answer your questions and support you in these important discussions.
