Conversation Cookies - Talking About Living Well and Dying Well

We are pleased to introduce you to the Life and Death Matters Conversation Cookies – edible cookies with a message inside, each one intended to stimulate conversations about living well and dying well. Conversations about living well and dying well can be challenging, but they are important, so we have developed edible Conversation Cookies to help you get the conversations started. If your family, friends and loved ones do not know your wishes, what quality of life means to you, what medical procedures you think you may or may not want – they will experience increased stress at an already stressful time and they will likely experience disagreement between family members. When people are left to make decisions for you, without any previous direction from you, they may make decisions that they would make for themselves, or they may choose more aggressive treatment options because they do not feel comfortable allowing natural death. This burden can be lessened when you talk with them about what is important to you, what living well means to you, and medical interventions you may or may not want. http://lifeanddeathmatters.ca/convers ... Conversation Cookies can stimulate discussion and encourage you to talk to your family and friends about ideas such as: - what matters to you, what you do every day that gives your life meaning - who you talk with about important events - who would be willing to honour your wishes and speak of your behalf, if you were unable - the importance of learning about different medical procedures that might be offered to you in the future We invite you to prepare. We invite you to talk about living well and dying well… so you can have real peace of mind, because both Life and Death Matter!
