Conversation Diagnosis and Care

We all well have a loved one become chronically ill, and we’re not going to be able to find doctors or treatment to reverse the issue. The odds of this happening in our lives is it could be clearly inevitable, almost inevitable that we’re going to lose a loved one but there are things that we can do about this. Most of it is going to involve a conversation you’re gonna have to sit down or we’re gonna have to talk with our loved ones about the course of care and how we should proceed if a diagnosis is given that is to mean that loved ones can no longer care from themselves. Decide who’s going to be the best fit, to look over that caring, and who is going to have to kind of sit in the background and like is it really just play advocate or into decision making? As a family, we’re all going to have to come together for this conversation. Because ultimately, we all need, to come to some agreement on what the best direction is, for the care of our loved ones. How it’s going to happen, we also need to come together and decide who is going to best be the best representative and the person who’s going to need to sign off on legal documents and be the one to represent the family in times of trouble. And at the time. When maybe we need to invent how they’re going to represent all of us as adults who are ones to the caregivers. We need to start honouring that person now while they’re alive, so they understand that we do love them and they need to be the ones leading the conversation so that we know what their best wishes are and how to handle them.
