Karen Fee took what she learned as an end-of-life caregiver to her mom and shared it with family and friends, creating a ripple effect that impacted how they all talked about death and dying. Her group of friends known as The Mama Surfers became a place for end-of-life discussions and reflections, where they could hold each other accountable for creating their advance care plans . Karen’s caregiving experience shaped her own advance care planning. Because Karen’s mom had a plan, the end of life experience was easier. Her dad was challenged to make decisions by himself and to manage things after her mom’s death. Karen added that support to her caregiving role.

If you’re a caregiver or a person supporting a caregiver, you’ll get a lot out of this conversation. Keep listening; there’s a lot to learn.
