Advance Care Planning - The Last Journey

Become an End of Life Explorer ®

One of the largest obstacles caring health professionals face is our own unwillingness to talk about death or to consider the realities of our own dying. We delay and push away discussing the very topics that could help us have the kind of dying experience that we may imagine is there just waiting to embrace us.

The recent high-tech and intensive medical capabilities save lives that would have been lost years ago. Yet, when we are no longer young and healthy, this same technology may agonizingly prolong the natural process of dying, cause us undue suffering, and certainly not let us pass from this life in peace. If we educate ourselves, do some planning and communication of our wishes, our end of life experience may indeed be the peaceful passing that we might imagine for ourselves.

Discover the peace it will bring you to complete this process.
