E65: How to Have Conversations About Death, Dementia, and End-of-Life Wishes with Lisa Pahl, Owner of The Death Deck
Talking about death, dementia, and end-of-life wishes can feel impossible, until you have the right tools to start. Today I'm joined by Lisa Pahl, owner and co-creator of the Death Deck, the End of Life Deck, and the Dementia Deck, to talk about why these conversations matter and how to actually start having them with the people you love.
You'll learn:
Why avoiding hard conversations about death and dying doesn't mean you've failed
How to introduce a hard topic to family or friends who typically avoid it
What questions can help you understand what someone would want at the end of their life
Why the person you'd trust most with your final wishes might not be who you expect
How identifying as a learner, not an expert, can change the way you approach grief and death
