Future in good hands: Find out about living will!

The examination of the last stages of life is a bitter but necessary step for many people. On Wednesday, October 16, 2024, the Palliative Network Kaufbeuren-Ostallgäu invites you to an important information evening in the St. Martin house in Kaufbeuren. Under the title "Future in good hands - my wishes for the end of life!" important questions about living will, treatment planning and funeral options are discussed. Entry to this important event is free of charge and starts at 5:00 p.m.

This evening not only gives the participants the opportunity to think about their own wishes for the last phase of life, but also to find out how they can be implemented in concrete terms. More and more people realize the importance of dealing with the end of their own in their lifetime and want to know where and how they want to spend their last days.

expert tips for life planning

The event is directed by two experts who bring their special knowledge:

• Nicole Schaller, an experienced general and palliative doctor, is dedicated to the topic of "living will". The concept of Advance Care Planning (ACP) is particularly important to her. This is an expanded form of living will, which ensures that the individual wishes and values of the patients are taken into account in all treatment decisions. This can be of great importance, especially in the event of inability to judge, since relatives and the medical team can then act more easily according to the will of the person concerned.

• In the second part, Thorsten Friedrich, funeral speaker and pastor, speaks to the various forms of burial. He will give an insight into the current burial cultures and show which aspects are important when choosing the correct burial. Around 200 burials per year in Kaufbeuren and the surrounding area show how diverse the funeral options are - both for the deceased and for the bereaved.

In the course of the evening, there will also be room for questions and personal conversations with the speakers. This offers a valuable opportunity to clarify individual concerns and uncertainties directly. The event is aimed at those who want to know their future in good hands as well as relatives who want to be included in the decision -making process.
