Show Notes

In this episode of Breathe, In Breathe Out, I share my personal experience as a caregiver and highlight the importance of end-of-life planning. I discuss the challenges of advocating for my mother's wishes in the hospital and emphasize the need for individuals to clearly communicate their medical preferences. Additionally, I touch on the concept of a dementia directive, which allows individuals to outline their wishes at different stages of dementia.
