My Mom and I talked about everything else, though. We talked about her cancer treatments. We talked about her funeral service. We talked about her casket. We had many opportunities to talk but “it never felt like the right time”’. We never talked about “what mattered” to her at the end. My brothers and I had to make many difficult and agonizing decisions in the last nine months of her life. After years of “did we do the right thing” second guessing, I finally feel that we did. I figured out that as long as my brothers, myself, my husband and my kids were able to see and visit with her, that WAS enough and WE were what mattered to her. I don’t want others to experience such guilty feelings after the death of a loved one. Let’s all talk and share our wishes for how we want to live before we die. It’s a gift to your loved ones. //Laurie M. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b070d59a9e028257829b9b4/1615308637080-T94NX542YYYT13NJWJKA/2017+thanks+6a.jpg Blog - National Healthcare Decisions Day - Siblings During our mother’s prolonged hospitalization before her death, my brothers and I had the opportunity to talk a lot about various end of life scenarios. Ultimately, 2 of us were and still are on the exact same page as to what we would prefer for our own situation while the other one had and still has completely opposing thoughts. Because one brother was so different in thought, I actually revisited his wishes a few years ago and discovered that he still feels the same way. I think it’s interesting that 3 siblings who endured the same experiences would have such different feelings and wishes. This shows that everyone needs to have this conversation and share their wishes and thoughts. We cannot assume what someone else is thinking. //Laurie M. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b070d59a9e028257829b9b4/1615308958719-3V3UME1P1FI7ZATQGJGJ/FB-Sarah.jpg Blog - National Healthcare Decisions Day - Great Grandparents These are my great grandparents, and having the talk early with them – gave the entire family a peace of mind and when it was their time – we were well prepared to be able to morn properly – not panic trying to figure everything out. //Sarah C. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b070d59a9e028257829b9b4/1615472866141-BN4ZJ0I56MM85VBME3DD/FB-+LeslieDad+-+Conversation+Ready+NTX.jpg Blog - National Healthcare Decisions Day https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b070d59a9e028257829b9b4/1615472866118-DH2HH131EQYHT890WGB6/FB+PeggyMom+-+Conversation+Ready+NTX.jpg Blog - National Healthcare Decisions Day https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b070d59a9e028257829b9b4/1615472866918-83HU3UXNA4SDL5WQOY90/FB-+PeggyRalph+-+Conversation+Ready+NTX.jpg Blog - National Healthcare Decisions Day https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b070d59a9e028257829b9b4/1615472867042-BIKLGRIRSV6GSGCB7KFV/FB+SusanFam+-+Conversation+Ready+NTX.jpg Blog - National Healthcare Decisions Day https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b070d59a9e028257829b9b4/1615472867441-8QB6ADRZZKCE28G5CYXD/FB-Leslie+Mom-+Conversation+Ready+NTX.jpg Blog - National Healthcare Decisions Day https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b070d59a9e028257829b9b4/1615472867635-2333059R1IV17D0K34GD/FBLeslieFam+-+Conversation+Ready+NTX.jpg Blog - National Healthcare Decisions Day https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b070d59a9e028257829b9b4/1615472868041-CZ6QXSM68UVATAPYZLGP/FBPeggyDad+-+Conversation+Ready+NTX.jpg Blog - National Healthcare Decisions Day https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b070d59a9e028257829b9b4/1615472868748-6RIA6YYMRDT7WOQWX86G/FB-Susan+-+Conversation+Ready+NTX.jpg Blog - National Healthcare Decisions Day https://www.conversationreadyntx.com/blog/updatedguides monthly 0.5 2021-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b070d59a9e028257829b9b4/1611595180860-QBLA55XIDTCEAV61D441/CSG2021.jpg Blog - New, Updated Conversation Starter Guides https://www.conversationreadyntx.com/blog/2020/4/30/ventilator monthly 0.5 2020-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b070d59a9e028257829b9b4/1588273606229-XZK653323CVPV8OIXZVC/vent.jpg Blog - You Need a Ventilator, But Do You Want One? https://www.conversationreadyntx.com/blog/covid19webinar monthly 0.5 2020-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b070d59a9e028257829b9b4/1587481378043-902D9FALYQMEC1XHLXGW/COVID+Choose+Your+Decision+Maker+2020+flyer+%28006%29.jpg Blog - Webinar Recording: Choose Your Decision Maker with 2020 Vision (April 16, 2020) https://www.conversationreadyntx.com/blog/covid-19-guide monthly 0.5 2020-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b070d59a9e028257829b9b4/1586199292570-CFO0DGZWMGGGEQ4BQK60/covidadd.jpg Blog - NEW GUIDE!
