End Of Life Planning

Why you should make an end of life plan

An end-of-life plan provides a roadmap to ensure your comfort, dignity, and emotional wellbeing during your final stages of life. It's not just a practical necessity for you, it reduces stress on your loved ones.

Making decisions for your end-of-life journey can be emotionally challenging and draining. However, it can also be a positive experience and an opportunity for clarity.

Your decision making roadmap

To help you through the process, these steps will provide a useful guide:

  • What's important. What do you want your last days and weeks to look like.
  • Choices and options. Remember to choose what feels right for you.
  • Have important discussions with family so they know your preferences.
  • Make decisions. This includes medical, legal and financial decisions.
  • Risk mitigation. Ensure someone is appointed to assume important decisions if need be.
  • Changed your mind. Communicate this clearly to family and action it promptly.
