Step-by-Step Roadmap for End-of-Life Planning

1. Why Plan Ahead: 

You'll learn the reasons why planning ahead is important and the difference it will make in your life as you grow older. The information you gather in this module can help you explain to your friends and family why you are creating your advance directives and why they should take this step too!

2. Mindset and Preparation: 

This module teaches you the problems with our society's old mindset about aging and the end of life and invites you to adopt a new way of thinking about your own later years. With this new positive attitude you will be in the right frame of mind to consider your wishes for your last days. You will also explore your values, goals, beliefs and fears so that you can make the best possible choices.

3. Creating Your Plans: 

In Module 3 you will be guided step-by-step through completing the Healthcare Proxy form and Living Will from your state or province, along with the CPR/DNR Directive, if needed. There will also be guidance for using Five Wishes as an alternative Living Will if you choose to use it. Each decision you need to make will be discussed in detail so that you will understand all of the implications of the choices you make.

4. Acting On and Sharing Your Plans: 

The final module of the course shows you how to legalize your forms, where to store them and how to have conversations with the important people in your life.

There is also BONUS Content for each module that consists of Articles, Audio Presentations and Interviews with various end-of-life experts that can help you learn more about the planning process and how to make these crucial decisions.
