Storage Places to Avoid - Don’t “Lose” Your Living Will
Posted by admin - 14/08/09 at 11:08 pmAs they say, the only constant thing in life is death. All of us will, at some point, pass away. Before, people refused to think about this; choosing instead to go on with their lives until the time comes. But today, more and more people are becoming open-minded.
The truth is that when we die, we leave a lot of things (and people) behind, and it is always good to prepare for this incident. Think of it as securing your children’s futures or even just the things and properties which you will be leaving. After all, you want them to go to the proper hands, and not just end up with someone you probably didn’t even know.
Another form similar to a living will form is a power of attorney for health care form. A power of attorney for health care form appoints some one you trust of your choosing to direct your health care decisions.
Giving it to someone unknown to your agent. This is another way to “lose” your directives — giving the living will to someone other than your agent, without your agent’s knowledge. Again: If your agent has no idea where the living will is, then how can he or she get it?
Giving the original to someone at odds with your agent. Some of you may have intra-family turmoil. Obviously, never give your living will with someone who often fights with or is at odds with your designated agent. Remember: The purpose of the living will is to ensure that your wishes are carried out. PERIOD. Your directives are not to be used in a way to be “fair” to another family member, or for any purpose other than ensuring that your wishes are followed.
You are also entitled to fill out a do not resuscitate order if you so choose to do so, this order will not allow your caregivers to put you on life support. Often times depending on the hospital and jurisdiction they will withhold do not resuscitate orders until their confirmed or simply not even recognize their legal power. Most hospitals will not perform intubations or resuscitation only when faced with these orders but they will treat infections, pump food and fluids directly into your blood stream, use pain management, and adequate comfort care are often times continued.
