National Healthcare Decisions Day: C&C President Barbara Coombs Lee

We can't control everything about our death. But if we communicate effectively, we make it more likely that our wishes for the end of life will be known and respected. Recent studies indicate the single most powerful thing a person can do to improve the chance for gentle dying is --- simply and courageously --- to talk about it.

April 16th is National Healthcare Decisions Day. Visit http://compassionandchoices.org/NHDD for tools and information on how to have The Conversation with those you love.
