One of the most difficult burdens a family can face is the diagnosis of a terminal illness for a loved one. Accepting this reality can be tough enough, and the situation it creates can put a lot of stress on those with the illness, as well as their families.
It is never easy to talk to your elderly family members about their end of life arrangements, but it is best to tackle this subject and have your loved ones create a will before they are affected by a terminal illness. This will should include in writing the type of care that your loved one would like to receive should they get a limited life expectancy diagnosis.
