Holidays are the time when families and friends gather together for food and conversation, but some of the most important topics like end-of-life care are the most difficult to discuss.

A recent study shows that 90 percent of Americans say it's important to talk about end-of-life care, but only 30 percent actually do.

Award-winning journalist Ellen Goodman wants to change that. She tells Here & Now's Robin Young why she created The Conversation Project and offers tips to start talking about end-of-life wishes.

Guest

  • Ellen Goodman, co-founder and director of the The Conversation Project.
