The Travelers Guide to Life
Why Travelers Guide to Life? Hospice is much more than end of life. This is a podcast about how to live fully so when you do get to the end you will feel happy about your choices. It's about living and reaching the end of life with conscious choice. We will be sharing tips and life lessons for a fulfilling life and ways to best prepare for an end of life that is aligned with your values. Sometimes we will talk about subjects that people like to avoid, but these are important conversations that do bring peace of mind. We hope you will listen, share and explore the resources you can find at the Hospice website. www.hospiceslv.org

Season 2 Episode 4 - Who Is Driving the Car? - Being in control of your healthcare decisions for advance planning
Advanced Care Planning is not about planning for your death. It is about making health care decisions that are right for you. We don’t' consider planning for important health care decisions because that won’t happen for a long time and discussing dying is sad and depressing. At Hospice we have learned over the last 40 years that talking about and planning for serious health issues allows patients and family to spend time with each other making memories and sharing stories until the patient’s last breath.
