BILL HASKETT you asked! BOB FLETCHER
SHOULD TM „J.DEfjLY DISCUSS DEATH2
Elderly people often are reluctant.to talk about death with
each other or with their families. Tlibugh studies have
found that most older people think about dying and talk
about It, sometimes they may shy away from honest, open
discussion.
Older people may think talking about death is embarrass-
ing, especially when an inheritance is involved. Family
members may avoid the topic for tear of.upsetting an older
loved one.
Blit death is as natural as birth. Truthful discussion about
death.and funeral.arrafgements helps make everyone tees
more comfortable and brings to an.end.any misunderstand-
ing about It. It is only through talking .About death that one
can truly accept it.
We invite your questions, which we will answer in private or
publicly through this column. •
