FINAL WISHES
It may seem disconcerting to some when older family members initiate conversations about their own demise. However, it should be viewed as an encouraging sign that elders are willing to talk about their passing, their plans for disposing of their property, and their funeral arrangements Such candid discussion shows a desire to take charge of their lives Countless studies point to the fact that negative attitudes and attempts to stifle talk of death are inappropriate lor the elderly. Researchers also indicate that older people have less fear of death and approach it more openly than their younger counterparts. Many older individuals feel more capable of lacing death and accepting it more peacefully than younger people might imagine
