3.4.2 Self-Reflection on End-of-Life Wishes

A positive outcome of the pandemic reported by participants was self-reflection about their end-of-life wishes. Participants expressed how the onset of COVID-19 led to thoughts about funerals, creating wills, and the impact their death will have on their families. Moreover, participants voiced speaking more about death and dying with those close to them:

“I have made a will; I have made a living wishes document and myself and my siblings and parents have had honest discussions about this. COVID forced us to have these conversations in our family.”
