As someone who does research on health care through the end of life, I get into a lot of conversations with people who are looking for advice as they face difficult decisions. People reach out to me when they, or their parents, or their spouses, are seriously ill or dying. They ask me what to do, how to make sense of health care, and how to think about their next steps. For a long time I have suggested to people that they look at wonderful online resources that are designed to help, like The Conversation Project or 5 Wishes. But a recent conversation made me realize that piece of advice might not be as helpful to people as I thought it was. People might need more guidance than just a website link. Read more about that guidance here.
