Conversation Guides to Help You Begin the Conversation

Begin by having conversations with your loved ones about their end-of-life care wishes. The following guides will help you consider your wishes.

  • Mishkan Miami has partnered with The Conversation Project, a national initiative that supports people having end-of-life conversations. Founded in 2010, the project is dedicated to helping people discuss their wishes for end-of-life care. The Conversation Project works in collaboration with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, a not-for-profit organization focused on health and healthcare improvement. The Conversation Project’s vision is for a grassroots public media campaign to help make it easier to have conversations about dying and “to encourage people to talk now and as often as necessary so that their wishes are known when the time comes.”
  • The Conversation Project Starter Kit is a free toolkit, with many built-in resources on topics such as Choosing aHealthcare Proxy, How to Talk to Your Doctor along with Alzheimer’s/Dementia and Pediatric Starter Kits.

  • The Center for Jewish End-of-Life Care in NY has a thorough website with many resources that facilitate end-of-life conversations, including materials that consider Jewish law. (halacha)
Respecting Choices is an advanced care planning system that includes all stages of planning and “embeds these planning processes into the routine of healthcare and the norm for the people in the community.”
