Hey Caregivers!

In this week’s episode of the Caregiving & Entrepreneurship Reimagined podcast I talked about the importance of having a living will created for your loved one.

A living will is a legal document that outlines what end-of-life medical care your loved one wants to have done in the event they can no longer speak for themselves.

In this episode, I share some of my own experiences of how having clear direction on what he wanted prior to his passing helped relieve some of the stress and uncertainty because we took the time to have the hard conversations and legally get it documented in his living will.

In this episode, you will learn:

-Exactly what a living will is.

-Why having a legal will is so important?

-Why choosing to work with a lawyer could give you some peace of mind and take off a bit of pressure as you a a caregiver.

The key moments in this episode are:

00:00:18 - Importance of Living Will in Long Term Care Planning
