The Tyndale Centre for Grief and Loss is pleased to offer its inaugural end-of-life planning workshop. Five Wishes is an established guided conversation that helps you identify your personal, emotional, spiritual, and medical preferences for the end of life. It assists you in selecting a trusted person to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so. Additionally, it provides you with a written plan to communicate your wishes and treatment choices in the event of serious illness. This process helps promote essential conversations with your family before a crisis occurs.
Our session is designed to promote essential conversations that help you plan and communicate your wishes. Whether you're arranging your personal end-of-life plans, supporting a loved one through end-of-life care, or simply seeking general guidance, this event provides a proven approach to initiate this important dialogue.
