Have you and your parents talked about the Hard Stuff? What is your plan or theirs for an incapacitating illness or a devastating accident? Or worse…death?
Give the people who love you the most the gift of not having to make those decisions for you.
Join us in August for our two-session series on The Hard Stuff.
The Conversation:
Presented by Carol Quiring, RN and CGE (Certified Grief Educator), Certified in Grief Movement, Operations Consultant for Woods Chapel Church, and Retired CEO of Saint Luke’s Home Care & Hospice
August 11 at 1:00 PM in the Lecture Hall.
THE CONVERSATION
Do you know the wishes of every member of your family?
Do any of you want to be kept alive with extreme measures?
Do you want a feeding tube that will prolong their/your life even if they/you are in a coma you are unlikely to recover from?
Cremation or burial?
Ventilator or not?
Do you want your family to always wonder if they made the decision that you would have wanted?
Understanding what happens when a loved one is diagnosed with a serious, life-altering, or terminal illness causes stress and pressure on families at a time when every moment is precious. But once you've outlined how you want to be cared for and just how much medical intervention is enough, it will relieve you and your loved ones of difficult decision-making when there really isn't curative treatment. Have that conversation before you can't. Give your family this gift.
You are NEVER too young or old to provide these answers to the people who love you the most and who will be forced to make these decisions if you don't.
This program will also explore in some detail funeral planning and options that are available to families today.
Registration is required.
The cost is $10 per binder (which covers both sessions). You will want ONE BINDER PER PERSON, not per couple. The binder will include all the class information for BOTH classes, including forms, and is an easy reference and place to keep your important documents.
