Join us on December 5th and 19th at 1:00pm as we have Visiting Nurses of the Lower Valley present The Conversation Project. This workshop will show you how to foster meaningful and effective conversations about end-of-life care. Research shows that 40 % of us will not be able to make healthcare decisions for ourselves at some point. We need to have the conversation about our values and wishes for care that benefits people of all ages: spouses/partners, parents, children, grandchildren, and close friends – anybody who might be involved in making decisions for you when you can’t speak for yourself. You may have experienced or heard about:
.The added stress when families don’t know what their loved one would want as they are dying.
·Conflict within a family if they disagree about what should be done or who should make decisions. ·Grieving which is more complex when people are left wondering if they did the right thing. ·The feeling that health care professionals are doing too little or too much treatment because a family is not united or unclear.
