Making the most of your life doesn’t just happen. It takes planning. By talking with experts, people can make informed decisions and learn how to relay this important information to their families, so they can plan for the best ending ever.

A great starting point is Courageous Conversations, a series of discussions about some of life’s most important choices hosted by Hospice of the Chesapeake at the Glen Burnie Regional Library, 1010 Eastway.

Sponsored by the John & Cathy Belcher Institute, an education and advocacy collaborative advancing the understanding of complex illness care at Hospice of the Chesapeake, the discussions are part of the nonprofit’s efforts to encourage a national dialogue about end-of-life.
