Having The Talk Advance Care Conversations with Aging Parents

Having the Talk: Advance Care Conversations with Aging Parents
Talking about death isn’t easy—most of us would rather avoid it altogether. But having gentle, honest conversations about future care can make a world of difference for you and the people you love. This session is designed to help you approach these topics with confidence, compassion, and clarity.
In this workshop, we’ll explore what Advance Care Directives are, why they matter, and how they can support families during challenging times. You’ll learn simple, practical ways to start meaningful conversations with aging parents or loved ones—without awkwardness or overwhelm. We’ll also chat about common questions, what decisions might need to be made, and how to navigate differing opinions with respect.
Whether you’re planning ahead for yourself or hoping to support someone close to you, this session aims to make “the talk” feel less daunting and a lot more empowering. It’s all about opening the door to thoughtful, caring discussions that help everyone feel more prepared and understood.
