{Public Service Announcement! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE talk to your family, share your thoughts with them on end of life issues. Talk to your doctor about it next time you see them. Tell them what you want and don't want to ever have done to you. Please. PLEASE! Over the years, DH and I had many conversations about this topic and both of our kids know as well what we wanted if something were to happen. This made things easier on both myself and the kids. However, DH's mother was unwilling to ever hear a hint of the word "death" or "sick" and so she wasn't ever in on those conversations and was pushing at the end to have anything and everything possible done to DH to keep him on the earth... It was very detrimental to the process and caused a lot of hurt and anger. The problem with "waiting till you get around to it" is that you could get sick, hit by a bus, whatever and then your brain function isn't clear enough to tell people what you want and don't want. The medical profession will do everything possible to keep you breathing and your heart beating, unless you give them some idea of what is okay with you and when it is time to let nature do its thing. Public Services Announcement over....} KARMA for this. |
