According to a national survey conducted by the Conversation Project, 92% of Americans say it’s important to talk to their loved ones about end-of-life wishes, but only 32% have done so. Understanding and advocating for your personal wishes before a serious illness or an emergent situation arises is incredibly important. Additionally, it is an invaluable gift to give yourself and your loved ones.
