The Ultimate Plan – Advance Directives Tuesday, February 12 12-1 p.m. Marcia B. Larkin, Esq. Law Partner: Fernandez, Larkin & Garcia, P.A. Death is a natural part of life - but for most of us, talking about it isn't. Most people are uncomfortable talking, or even thinking, about what will happen when they or a loved one approaches the end of life. Many people avoid talking about death or incapacity because of fears associated with suffering, pain, separation from loved ones and the unknown. Participants will learn to tackle these fears by becoming fully informed on how to plan their lives according to their own wishes and by making the transition less painful for family and friends.
