While We're Still Here
Discussing dying and death isn't typically a preferred topic. The thought of bringing it up can feel overwhelming. How do we share with those in our inner circle? The more we acknowledge that 100% of us will die, the more likely we are to share our thoughts about end of life choices. We would share our wishes, fears, and concerns about end of life by starting the conversation with our people. We can work at leaving nothing unsaid with those we love. We can empower others to do the same.
Let's discuss how to live for today knowing that we all will die.

Caution: The conversation about ending one's life continues. Please proceed carefully.
Why do we want to learn about what other countries are legislating about medical aid in dying? Because their decisions may influence our policy makers and the individuals seeking this option to end their suffering. The notion that one can seek to end their life can seem really heavy--it IS really heavy, and is not to be taken lightly. When someone is reaching the end of their life, especially in light of a terminal illness, the suffering can be too great. The loss of their ability to perform activities of daily living independently can be too much to bear. The controversy of having this choice is polarizing. What is a suffering person to do? Let's learn about how others are handling this very difficult life-changing decision.
