“It was THE best/most powerful learning I have experienced about ‘why have the conversation’ because it felt real and at times even felt raw.”

attendee from the Funeral Consumers Alliance 2020 conference

When Bob, Denise and Maggie’s elderly father, receives his terminal cancer diagnosis, they encourage him to prepare his end-of-life plan so there’s no misunderstanding of what he wants or doesn’t want. But Bob is not having any part of it even though his doctor is encouraging him to prepare. Throw in some family dynamics, disagreements and resentments, plus a healthy dose of stubbornness, and the scene changes dramatically when Bob is hospitalized.

  • Friday, April 2, 2021 5pm PDT | 8pm EDT Presented in English with auto-captioned subtitles
