Making End-of-Life Decisions - Tom Wallace - Bog

- A How-To Guide for You and Your Loved Ones

Bag om Making End-of-Life Decisions

Who wants to think about dying? Most of us quickly answer that question, "Not me." Author Tom Wallace, however, has been contemplating how we die since the death of his first wife and his diagnosis with vascular dementia. For the past four years, he has been living day-to-day and grappling with the issues he writes about in this book. Making End-of-Life Decisions is the output of Tom's journey - the steps he's taken to remain in control of his life to the very end. Through the book, you'll understand how to create a "good death" which allows people to remain autonomy over how their life ends, as well as how to avoid a "bad death" in which others control when and how you die. With the help of Wallace and Making End-of-Life Decisions, you can learn how to make your wishes clear to loved ones, caretakers, and medical practitioners. How? You make your wishes clear through conversations, either verbally or in writing. His guide will teach you how to decide what a "good death'" means to you; start that initial conversation with your loved ones, medical team, and others; choose which kinds of end-of-life care you prefer; and prepare the documents that will help ensure that you get the care you desire. Never has the phrase "Plan Ahead" been more appropriate or more helpful.
