You Are Here: Creating a Roadmap for the Rest of Your Life
Whether it’s Google maps or an old-fashioned paper map…maps help us know where we’re going and show us options for how to get there. We have found that our health care system is often limited in terms of the options for living with serious illness and through the end of life. Many people don’t know they have choices – or that they can co-create the map with a health care team. As we age, many people haven’t considered how we are guided to make decisions about the last part of our life. Maps based on your values can be helpful when approaching unknown, unfamiliar territory. This presentation will help to better define the kind of map you want to guide you from now until the end of your life.
Re-imagining the End of Life: Living and Dying Based on What Matters
Many people have seen firsthand that the process of navigating serious illness and dying within our complex health care system is often confusing, isolating, crisis-driven, and disheartening. What might be possible if instead, we re-imagined the end of life as a vital, purposeful stage of human development, allowing us to focus on well-being at all stages of living and dying? This would include the practice of healing by embracing forgiveness, gratitude and letting go. When challenging medical decision points arise, using wisdom instead of fear should be employed. Additionally, caregiving should be sustainable and meaningful for both the family and professionals involved. Join Jan in this poignant presentation to explore each of these opportunities to re-envision the last chapter of our lives, to prepare for death in order to live more fully in the time that we have – and to imagine making care and treatment decisions based on our values and what matters most to us.

Many people don’t know they have choices – or that they can co-create a map with a health care team to plan for end-of-life events. As we age, many people haven’t considered how we are guided to make decisions about the last part of life. Maps based on your values can be helpful when approaching unknown, unfamiliar territory.
