In a recent article published in Kiplinger, Joel Theisen shares a compassionate perspective on the life and death answers we owe our loved ones. “How our life ends isn’t always up to us,” Joel explains, “but that question too often must be answered by loved ones and health care workers who don’t know what we would want.”

Joel shares a real client story of ‘Bob,’ who advocated for what he wanted versus what the health system felt he needed. His focus was on living his life on his terms and his Lifespark team was able to support him in that brave decision. A beautiful and compelling piece that shows what happens when the right life conversations occur to bring meaning to those we serve and how advancing hospice conversations meets a person’s goals. Thank you, Joel, and Bob for leading the way!
