An undeniable fact of life is that we all die eventually, but this doesn’t make it any easier when a loved one passes away. Many fear death or talking about dying before it happens. Many struggle to talk about deceased loves ones after they’ve died, and the grief can be all-consuming. No doubt about it: End-of-life conversations are the elephant in your family room and can be challenging. If talking about dying is scaring you to death, you’re not alone. We spoke with Maureen Kures about how to have these hard conversations anyway… and why doing so can be an opportunity for connection and healing.
