Family Conflict in Aging: Planning for the End of Life

UW Continuing Studies

Family Conflict in Aging: Planning for the End of Life

Healthcare professionals, learn how to use a palliative care approach to explore sources of family conflict and approaches to navigating and mediating in end-of-life planning and decisions. As the end of life approaches, the older individual’s independence and self-esteem may be replaced by dependency, demoralization, and concerns about being a burden. Family conflict is common, heightened by anticipatory grief, uncertainty, and the work of caregiving. Families play a crucial role in supporting, planning, and decision-making for older individuals approaching the end of life.
