Assignment task:
Purpose: Students are able to address that End of Life is often about tangible and reality-based goals that focus on the needs of the dying person and that accepting that death is a part of the developmental path is an adaptive measure to helping the dying person meet those goals.
Post: *Note: The following content deals with end of life and could be difficult to address and/or emotional for some. Before reading on, please take a moment to center yourself (e.g., take a deep breath, say a prayer, etc.) and do what is necessary to get in a healthy and peaceful space to address this important developmental topic.*
Review the various aspects that contribute to an appropriate death.
In what ways can the dying person's loved ones and the medical community help ensure that the goals for an appropriate death are met?
Discuss at least 2 specific ways people/society can do more for those in Late Adulthood and then into End of Life to achieve a sense of a purposeful life that will lead to a peaceful and "good death".
End your post with a question for the class related to your post.
