No one really wants to talk with their parents about what their end-of-life wishes are.
You may be hesitant to bring up the topic of end-of-life planning out of fear you’ll say the wrong thing, but the truth is, if your mother or father gets sick or injured they may not be able to tell you what they want at that point.
Chances are, your parents have already started to think about their end-of-life wishes. But it’s important that you understand what those wishes are and what type of planning your parents have made, if any.
Some questions you should consider asking include: If you need long-term care, do you want to be cared for at home or would you want to move? Have you created a will, power of attorney or advanced health care directive?
