Melissa Couch is a Clinical nurse consultant, an advanced care planning officer and is degree qualified in palliative care. Melissa shares the importance of planning for a medical or end of life scenario. She speaks about 'survivors guilt', the guilt of those left behind who had no idea how their loved ones wished to spend their last days, who made decisions based on presumption. She speaks about the importance of mandating a substitute decision maker now, and making sure they understand your wishes. It might feel confronting, but I highly recommend a listen.
