There are many loose ends a family must do for a loved one when they pass, I personally want to do my best to help relieve as much of that stress as I possibly can. I know you can never help with the emotional stress that family has to go through but you can help with the financial and the physical burden your loved one have to endure by creating a will. “A will is a declaration of how a person wants his or her property to be distributed upon death (Cheeseman.2013).” It helps give your family some direction on what to do with all your debt and personal property especially if you have a lot of money and/or children. Even though you can never fully prepare someone for your death there are many pros to having a will.

Who should be included in the decision to modify care from recuperative to palliative? When, if ever, is the right to refuse any and all medical care appropriate when such virtually ensures the death of the patient? First off what is recuperative medical care? “Recuperative Care is a program that provides short- term medical care & case management to homeless persons who are recovering from an acute illness or injury, whose conditions would be exacerbated by living on the street or in a shelter. This problem helps people of your community from being re-admitted into the hospital. It is meant to save money in the long run. Palliative care is specific medical care facility for people suffering from critical illness such as cancer, congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), kidney disease, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and many more. Palliative tries to improve the quality of life for both the patient and his/her family.

This program is meant to show the family members how to live with illnesses and give their family members the best life possible. A patient has the right to refuse care at any time. If they have fought a life long battle with cancer and feel like they have given their …show more content…
What pitfalls are to be avoided in ensuring maintenance of these relationships? What actions may be taken to ensure the spiritual and existential dimensions of the process are respected and integrated? “Palliative care offers specialized treatment to people whose illness is no longer considered curable. Its primary goals are to provide comfort and care for those with life-limiting illnesses and their families, so that patients are able to die peacefully in the setting of their choice—often their own home—while receiving all necessary nursing, medical, psychosocial, and spiritual care (Chochinov).” This allows the family and the patient to become more mentally prepared on what is about to happen, allows the family members to say their final good-byes and tie up any loose ends. I believe these programs allow people to talk openly about death and can help patient and family with depression so they can all maintain some sort of positive outlook. Instead of seeing it as a loved one is dying they could think of it as that family member will finally be out of pain. A lot of times in places like these, hospice or nursing homes, you can ask to speak with a person of religion and that will provide you with some comfort with death. For example I believe in Christianity, so I would love to have someone there to explain to my family
