My name is Erin Hutchins Johnson and I lived in the twin cities all my life until I moved to Nashville. Before you approach your loved one(s) about your final wishes, you should choose those you trust most as they will be the ones carrying out your wishes when the time comes. This might include a spouse, child, sibling, or close friend. Let them know you would like to discuss your wishes for when the time comes and ask if they would be willing to discuss with you. Scheduling the conversation gives your loved one(s) time to prepare mentally.
