Not legal or medical advice. ## What This Skill Produces - **A gentle opening** — a way to start this conversation that doesn't feel morbid, forced, or like you're rushing them toward death (a news story, a form to fill, "I want to make sure we honor what you want") - **The areas to cover** — medical wishes (interventions, resuscitation, comfort vs. aggressive care), where they want to be cared for and to die, what quality of life means to them, spiritual/personal wishes, and the practical/legal pieces (documents, who decides) - **A listen-don't-impose stance** — how to draw out *their* wishes rather than project your own or steer them - **How to handle resistance** — if they don't want to talk about it,
