What might the mother figures in your life really want this mother's day?

If you've waited until the last minute to buy a mother's day present, don't worry, there may be something she’d appreciate even more… someone to listen and ask questions about what matters most to her in her health care now and through the end of life.

Knowing you’ll be her voice if she ever can’t communicate her preferences – that you’ll speak up and ask important questions to be sure care aligns with her choices. And if you’ve got siblings – that you’ll be on the same page and not second guess each other through the process.
