Family Conversations About End-Of-Life Care (Rebroadcast)

Talking about death and dying is never easy. Many of us cling to the childhood belief that parents are invincible.

Or that your uncle won't qualify for Medicaid because he didn’t understand the process. Armed with basic facts and good listening skills, it's possible to create a strategy that gives a loved one comfort and provides caregivers with peace of mind. Diane and her guests explore how to begin discussions about end-of life care.
