living will or instructions

[Guest guest]

Good point about the living will. I got one based on my mothers experience. I

am not sure if my sister had one or not but we (her husband, myself, my father

and brother) knew what her wishes were.

Having it in writing and I believe mine is on file at the hospital. I am not

sure exactly where you should all put them. I know my mother in law had a big

folder on the door of her home that said something like file of life. She had

that made up for emergency personnel after her husband fell, had a massive blood

on the brain (forgot what it is called). His family also took a vote and

decided to not keep him on life support.

Having that file where emergency personnel can find it is a good idea.

Sorry to get on a tiny soap box, but who loves you - a guy who cheats

on you, or your parents?

GET A LIVING WILL everybody

On that note, are living wills the same in all states? How about

other countries?

Take care,
