Engage With Grace

I was told about this project from a client of mine in Boston. It helped her lead the conversation with her parents about end of life issues.

They use one slide to show the 5 questions to ask and discuss with your loved ones. They are provocative and personal questions that we should all look at and have documented.

From personal experience, I have seen how medical intervention and "saving lives at all costs" can interfere with a patient's quality of life. It is good to know before an emergency or end of life status what our preferences are.

Check out the site, use it and pass it on.
