A Year at the Bedside

Which do you choose?

A Year at the Bedside

A relative is dying slowly and needs someone with them daily. You can do it yourself: quit for a year, empty your savings, be the one holding the cup. Or you can keep working and pay a stranger who is patient and good at this, and visit on weekends.

Which do you choose?

Then ask

  • Who in your family would judge you for hiring the stranger? Name them.
  • Is the year for them or for you?
  • When your turn comes, which would you want your people to do?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
