Guest guest Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Everyone should have a Health Care Directive. In CA it is called an Advance Health Care Directive. It sets forth health-care instructions for physicians and other medical personel. It appoints someone as an agent to make health-care decisions for you on matters not covered in the instructions, and the role shall take effect upon your incapacity. At one point you can put: Respecting the providing, withholding, or withdrawing of life-sustaining treatment at the end of life, I CHOOSE And then name your wishes to be carried out. I wish I could say something funny to cheer you up! Keep praying. I know how you feel. I am a strong Christian but sometimes this crummy system of things and the cruel people in it really get me down too. I to do not wish to have heroic efforts to save my life. Life has been so hard for you, I understand Sunny. I know you are not going to kill yourself anymore than I will. You love God and he will sustain you through this. You would never violate Gods law on murder no matter how much mental and physical pain you have. Here are some Emergency numbers: When in sorrow.............……………..call 14 When people fail you or you are depressed...call Psalm 27 When you worry…………………….call 6: 19-34 When you feel down and out……… call Romans 8:31 When people are unkind……………..call 15 And take a look at Revelations 21: 3-4 God tells us in the future we will have NO PAIN, DEATH, OR SORROW ANYMORE he will make the former things pass away with this crummy old system we now live in.

One of them called today to give me even more garbage as they feared I may take my own life. But the one thing I might have wanted to hear.. compassion.. was not on the agenda. Only more judgment as to how I should not be depressed as I have so much and blah blah blah. Today, my phone is off and I am swallowing tranquilizers as often as I can without ODing. Yes, I WOULD like to do myself in, but I am a Christian and I don't believe in it. Instead, I am praying to God to do that for me. I have instructed my husband that, should the Lord decide to answer my prayer, that nothing be done to keep me alive. Do any of you know what kind of document is needed to insure that they won't?
