HAVING THE CONVERSATION

​

Talking with your loved ones openly and honestly, before a medical crisis happens, gives everyone a shared understanding about what matters most to you at the end of life.

​

Too many people are dying in a way they wouldn't choose, and too many of their loved ones are left feeling bereaved, guilty, and uncertain.

​

It's time to transform our culture so we shift from not talking about dying to talking about it.  It's time to share the way we want to live at the end of our lives.  And it's time to communicate about the kind of care we want and don't want for ourselves.

​

We believe that the place for this to begin is at the kitchen table - not in the intensive care unit - with the people we love, before it's too late.

​

Together we can make these difficult conversations easier. We can make sure that our own wishes and those of our loved ones are expressed and respected.
