The Mourning Meeting: Episode 9
“The Talk” with David Leven
Have you ever considered having "the talk"? No, not that talk! The talk about who you would want to make decisions for you if you were unable to do so. Or what you would want done to you if you were in an accident or had an injury and were no longer able to communicate? Although we hope to live very long lives and not need these conversations for a long time, the reality is that accidents are the leading cause of death for people up to 24 years old. Accidents may not always be deadly but can leave a person unable to communicate. In these circumstances, it is so important to have trusted people that know your values and wishes and can speak for you. In this episode, Mr. Leven shares stories of people who did not communicate their wishes in advance, and the terrible struggles their families went through. We hope it provokes some thinking and conversations in your life!
