April brings us National Healthcare Decisions Day, a time to raise awareness about the importance of advanced care directives for adults of any age. While many directives are basic, these documents can be much more comprehensive and reflect your wishes on many levels. Appointing a healthcare proxy is an excellent first step but providing them with deeper guidance is a profound gift and a true act of love. Clear, thoughtful planning helps reduce confusion and emotional burden while empowering your proxy and loved ones during medical emergencies or in the early waves of grief.
If you would like an introduction to writing a more in-depth personal directive, I invite you to join me for an interactive workshop. Together, we will:
- Explore important questions to consider when creating your directive
- Review comfort care options you may wish to include
- Discuss after-death planning considerations
Join us on April 16 at 2:00 p.m. for this interactive workshop introducing in-depth personal directives. To register, call 781-659-7878.
