Listings for End of Life Planning / Grief & Loss Support
End of Life Planning
Having conversations with family, health care professionals, and close friends are important for planning your end-of-life care. Organizations like PCOA can help you begin those conversations and give you reliable information on filling out your advanced directives. In addition, these plans allow you to have the care and treatment you would want if you no longer can make the decisions on your own. The sub-categories here will assist you in this process. In the future, the Arizona Advance Directive Registry will be hosted and maintained by a healthcare organization called Health Current. As a result, a person’s end-of-life care plans will be accessible by healthcare professionals as part of their electronic health record.
Grief & Loss Support
The loss of a loved one is very difficult. You are not alone. If you are struggling with grief or the loss of a loved one, consider attending a support group to share your experiences and find healing and solace in others.
