Caring At The End Of Life Kenny Schoolcraft

An advance directive is a form that you fill out to describe the kinds of medical care you want to have if something happens to you and you can't speak for yourself. It tells your family and your doctor what to do if you're badly hurt or have a serious illness that keeps you from saying what you want.
Step-by-step instructions and links to online resources help streamline the activities and assist you in clarifying your thoughts, choosing a surrogate, and formalizing your advance directive. Each chapter of this book concludes with a Personal Reflection and a series of Action Steps to help facilitate and enrich the overall experience of creating this important and critical document. The peace of mind we obtain by helping protect our future in this way will provide immeasurable benefits to our loved ones and ourselves.
