We all hope that we will stay healthy and active as we age, and to not be a burden on our loved ones when we get older.  But life doesn’t always work out the way we hope.   Evidence indicates that if we are informed and proactively managing our health and illnesses that will almost inevitably arise, we feel empowered and are much more likely to achieve greater health, receive better care, and have a high-quality end-of-life experience.   Identifying our values and priorities while we are still able to do so helps us live a better life because the process allows us to discover what is really important to us.  

BiddingAdieu, through its interactive workshop, will guide you in developing your personal future health care plan (a.k.a. advance care plan or ACP) that will clearly set out what type of health care you want if faced with a serious illness/end-of-life situation. It is intended to provoke thinking, conversation, and planning, and to encourage communication among you, your loved ones, and your health care providers. This workshop also helps you create an end-of-life to-do list while learning, growing and finding joy in the process.  Click on the button below for more information.

If you find the thought of discussing this topic with your loved ones a bit daunting, BiddingAdieu can guide you through that as well by providing you with tools that will help with any difficult conversation you may need to have. Click on the button below for more information.

And when a loved one dies, you will want to celebrate his or her life.  BiddingAdieu can help you create a very personal service that will truly honour your loved one.  Click on the button below for more information.
