In August, I posted about the Conversation Project, a website dedicated to helping people talk about their wishes for end-of-life care. http://infoltc.blogspot.ca/2012/08/the-conversation-project.html

The Conversation Project urges people to share the gift of conversation, talking about what matters most to us at the end of our lives – for loved ones this holiday.

This season, families will be able to send the electronic gift (email or PDF) to each other via the website: http://theconversationproject.org/gift/.
