What Matters in the End?
“We have the opportunity to refashion our conversations in ways that transform the possibilities for the last chapters of everyone’s life.” — Atul Gawande
This week’s tip is the soon-to-be classic Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End written by Atul Gawande. The book touches upon questions regarding how we, as a society, can improve medical care at the end of life. If you, your close friend or family member, have dealt with these matters — the book will undoubtedly be of interest to you. Not only does it improve your ability to voice and advocate for your final wishes, but it also offers a way of reflecting on what being mortal means to you.
Gawande points out that top concerns of dying people include not being a burden to others and strengthening relationships with family and friends. Peacefully aims to relieve one’s feeling of being a burden and helps you spend time with loved ones. We help get things done, both in advance and following a death, so less falls on family and friends. We believe that these resources should be uncomplicated and available to everyone no matter their financial status. By providing accessible and easy-to-use resources, we help to create a peace of mind.
The end of life is complicated and daunting without the added burden of paperwork. We want to provide people with the autonomy to preserve one’s legacy and have a full understanding of one’s choices.
