Talking about death will make most people squirm, but respectful conversation lessens the grief of a loss and allows people to honour a deceased loved one's wishes.

, Huddleston found that these conversations also make people feel like their time will be up sooner rather than later. In the midst of grieving a parent's death, you might also have to plan the memorial, end monthly magazine subscriptions and notify others of their death. It's not easy to juggle these tasks or final wishes if you don't know what someone wants or where their information is stored.

Huddleston added,"Think of letting your family know what your final wishes are as a gift – your final gift to them. You'll make it easier for them during a difficult time by having a detailed plan that they can follow."There isn't one right way to approach this conversation. It really depends on whom you are talking with.
