Assignment task:
This week, we have reviewed a variety of resources related to the death process and communicating about death and dying. For this discussion, choose two of the following 3 scenarios (or if you'd like, you could make a different scenario) and explain what questions or topics you would address, as well as the strategies and techniques you might use to enhance the effectiveness of your communication. Describe the thoughts and/or emotions that having "the Conversation" elicits in you.
Choose two of the following three scenarios (or create one of your own). Again, this can be real OR fictitious (imaginary):
1. Talking with a parent or grandparent about what their preferences are at the end of life.
2. Talking with a close friend or relative about your own preferences at the end of life.
3. Talking with a young relative (you can choose the age) who has questions about death.
