Considering our own mortality and the eventual end of life is never easy. However, taking the time now to reflect on what truly matters—such as the sources of joy, meaning, and dignity in our lives—creates an opportunity for thoughtful planning. By identifying these priorities, individuals can ensure that their advance healthcare directives reflect their personal values and definition of quality of life.

This session will guide participants through the process of recognizing and prioritizing what matters most to them. By clarifying these values, individuals can make informed choices about their healthcare and document their wishes. The session will cover practical steps for creating an advance healthcare directive and provide information about the types of decisions that may arise. Participants will gain insights into how to navigate these choices thoughtfully as they prepare for the final stages of life, ensuring their care aligns with their conception of quality and dignity.
