Ways to raise the issue

� Talk about the recent illness or death of a relative or someone you know, or

someone in the news, like a celebrity. What did you think about what happened

with so-and-so? Is that the kind of care you would have wanted? Why or why not?

� Share an article or story about the topic. Maybe there was a movie, a segment on

the evening news, or an episode of Oprah that got you thinking.

� Use the opportunity of a medical appointment or build on a financial planning

session to discuss her/his wishes.
