In this very personal episode of Comforting Closure - Conversations with a Death Doula, join me as I work with Maureen Kures, founder of A Radiant Mourning and my husband, Oren, to create my own advance directive. Maureen leads us in exploring what it really means to document our wishes—from reflecting on our personal values to choosing the right person to speak on my behalf. Together, we’re opening up about the emotions, questions, and even moments of humor that come with this planning process.

In this episode, you'll learn about:

Personal Reflections on Advance Directives: Discover how values, humor, and family connections can transform the process.
Choosing Your Advocate Wisely: Learn about the qualities that make a great healthcare decision-maker and why it’s so important.
Practical Steps to Crafting an Advance Directive: See firsthand the thoughtful approach that makes this process an act of love.

Whether you’re just starting to think about end-of-life planning or revisiting it, this episode offers both comfort and guidance.
