End of Life Decisions:
Why is it that we can plan for everything in our lives from where we go on our first date, to where we choose to live, to what we want to do when we retire, and fail miserably when it comes to executing what it is we want to happen in the final days of our lives? To this day it remains one of the most taboo areas of discussion! The problem remains that if we don’t talk about it and don’t plan for it, that doesn't mean that it goes away and never has to be dealt with. Usually what ends up happening is that your loved ones are left with the burden of financial matters, paying for your health related expenses, health related decisions and ultimately what happens to you upon your demise. When you take control of what it is you want for the end of your life and make a plan for it your quality of life can improve dramatically. Therapy can help you understand what end of life decisions are, assist you at working through your emotions, values and beliefs surrounding your own mortality and gain a clearer understanding of what it is you want your end of life goals to be.
