Came across this CNA article on “death literacy” and it really struck a chord with what we see every day.
A lot of people assume the difficult part is the paperwork. But more often than not, it’s the conversations that don’t happen.
Who should make decisions? What feels fair? What happens if something goes wrong?
Not because people don’t care. It’s just uncomfortable, and easy to put off.
In our work, this shows up more often than expected.
People know they should do something… just not today. Until one day, it’s no longer something they can decide for themselves.
That’s why things like an LPA matter. Not just as a document, but as a way to bring clarity and peace for the people around you.
If you have a few minutes, the article is worth a read. It puts into words something many of us already feel but don’t really talk about.
