Let's take a look at one family that utilized Palliative Care as intended for their loved family member. An advantage in this Youtube clip is that the patient had already completed a Living Will.
After reviewing this clip, I would like to see some responses describing the benefits of completing a living will.
Is it important for individuals to communicate their wishes of end-of-life care to other family members?
What would you want for yourself at end-of-life?

What a nice post! Here are two quotes from Elizabeth Kubler Ross:
ReplyDelete“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassions, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”

“And after your death, when most of you for the first time realize what life here is all about, you will begin to see that your life here is almost nothing but the sum total of every choice you have made during every moment of your life. Your thoughts, which you are responsible for, are as real as your deeds. You will begin to realize that every word and every deed affects your life and has also touched thousands of lives.”
