Alot of difficult, but essential, things to think about
I bought this book before preparing my living will. Having watched my father languish as he died, and finally "pulling the plug" to preserve his dignity and comfort, I was determined to provide instructions to loved ones and doctors as to how I should be treated in such an eventuality. This book really helped. It goes through concerns about quality of life, burdensomeness to your family, intractable pain, loss of communication or hygiene abilities, and many other considerations. I had never realized how many conditions might make one opt for termination of medical care, leading to a dignified death, but there are many of them. This book lays them out, asks the reader to decide for him- or herself whether to continue living under such conditions, and instructs in how to write the final will. It also tells how to make provisions for death...do you want pain relievers which may hasten death but provide comfort? Do you want water to be supplied by nasogastric tube as you die so that you don't suffer from thirst? Once written, the book tells you how to use the document...give it to family, friends, doctors. A difficult topic, but a very good handling of the material. ... Read more
