Last Meeting - Oct. Nov. 14, 2019: About 15 people attended this meeting. There was a joint presentation by three representatives from Compassionate Ottawa.

This is to ensure that the tasks of the survivors is made as easy as possible. Also, it is important to let our immediate family know, in advance, about our wishes and preferences for the time when the end is near, and when we may not be able to express them.
