By accessing www.closure.org, you have made a powerful decision to educate yourself about end-of-life issues and care options. Dying is an uncomfortable topic to consider… no matter what your age. But it’s an important matter to discuss with family members and healthcare providers. You need to know what you want, and what you want to avoid, in the event that your time becomes limited.
There is a great deal of information available about end-of-life. In fact, it can be quite overwhelming. This Web site is designed to simplify that information. We’ve developed simple, easy-to-use online educational materials, tools and resources to help you make informed end-of-life decisions that are consistent with your values and beliefs.
Our online Closure 101 lessons cover an array of topics including important questions to ask your doctor, decision-making tools, advance care planning and grief and mourning. In addition, we are following the latest news, research and policy changes to keep you informed and up-to-date on this complex topic.
Whether you are making end-of-life decisions for yourself or you are caring for a loved one or friend living with a serious illness, www.closure.org can help. We invite you to take a personalized Self Assessment that will help customize your online experience. However, if you feel that you can already pinpoint your needs, feel free to explore the site on your own.
We believe that every person’s final days, weeks, months and years should be spent in a way that for them is meaningful, tolerable and meets their priorities for end-of-life, whether that is living as long as possible, keeping their wits as sharp as possible, or being as free of pain and suffering as possible. This Web site is designed to help you make that happen.
Since the Closure Web site is new, we are interested in hearing your thoughts and ideas so that we can better enhance your online experience. Let us know what you think by responding to this blog post.
Best,
The Closure Team
