Welcome to the End of Life Issues forum

[Tab]

It'd be nice if such a group wasn't necessary, but hey, such is life.

If you are going through EOL issues yourself, or have someone in your life who is, or if you're a professional working in this area, please join us.

2. I am also interested in this forum

although I am not currently in the midst of an end of life issue. My husband and I are 68 and I know it will come eventually. We also went through it with my father and his mother.

I would like to recommend a book I read on the subject about a year ago. The book is Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End by Atul Gawande. It gave me much to consider and made me a bit more sure about what I would want if and when I go through my own "end of life."

3. I've worked in nursing homes and hospice and done my best to help

family members leave with as much comfort as possible, I'm very interested in this forum. Thank you, Tab.
