Dean Lambert (The Love Always Project) on Grief and End-of-Life Planning Grief Stories

Maureen Pollard interviews Dean Lambert of The Love Always Project about his own experience with suicide loss and grief, and about how to support people in end-of-life planning. "According to our research, which was a national study we do every year, 100% of consumers who pre-arrange their funerals are satisfied with their decision to varying degrees from 'completely satisfied' to 'very well satisfied' to just 'satisfied'. Zero people are not satisfied. And within one month, this is when we do the study is a month after they have planned, within a month of planning 42% of the people who have pre-arranged, have told someone else to do it. Not that they just told their family 'hey we did this', they recommended it to others. So you've got this high satisfaction and this high recommendation and all of a sudden you know that when somebody does it they feel like they've accomplished something, they've done something smart, they've protected their family and they want to tell others 'you guys should do this too'."
