ZOOM Get Your Ducks in a Row: Preparing for End of Life

  • Wisdom House Retreat & Conference Center 229 East Litchfield Road Litchfield, CT, 06759 United States (map)

Presented by Melissa Lewis, RN, BSN, CPHCN

Most families are unprepared for one of life’s most inevitable moments — not because they don’t care, but because no one taught them how to prepare. Join Melissa Lewis, RN BSN, for a warm, practical, and uplifting conversation about the five essential areas every family should have in place — from important documents and medical wishes to emotional readiness and meaningful conversations. You’ll leave with greater clarity, peace of mind, and simple next steps to help protect yourself and the people, pets, and plants you love.

What We’ll Cover:

  • Essential legal and medical documents

  • How to communicate your healthcare wishes

  • Conversations that prevent conflict and regret

  • Emotional preparation and finding peace

  • Lessons from 30 years at the bedside about living, loving, and letting go

This Presentation Is For You If…

  • You want to protect yourself & those you love

  • You want to give your family a chance to grieve — not manage logistics

  • You are navigating caregiving, aging, illness, or loss

  • You are ready to start the conversation, even if you don’t know where to begin

End of Life (EOL) planning does not have to feel overwhelming. Done with care and intention, it can become one of the most loving gifts you give yourself and those you cherish most.
