How to Start a Conversation Using Go Wish Cards, Heartbeat Episode 189

Go Wish cards from Coda Alliance are a great way to start those awkward conversations about end of life wishes.  If the thought of talking about death makes you cringe, Go Wish cards can get you started in a thoughtful way. 

Players using the cards can divide the 36 cards into three categories to rank the importance of various aspects of end of life.  You can even play “Go Wish Solitaire” on the website to determine what you’d like your loved ones to know.  Laugh a little, talk a lot - let the cards get your discussion started with your family or health care decision maker.  Coda Alliance is dedicated to helping people make their end of life choices known in a respectful way.
