Researching Family Communication and End-of-Life Decisions

Hi Everyone,

This group caught my attention because I am part of a research team at Saint Louis University that is conducting a research project about how families communicate about making medical decisions for loved ones at the end-of-life.

If anyone in the group has had to make a medical decision for a loved one at the end of life, I'm interested in hearing more of your story. If this is something you would be comfortable with, please email me at cgibso10@slu.edu.

Best,

Corinne Gibson

"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
