Description
5 Wishes is a living will document published by a nonprofit agency called Aging with Dignity. It’s a simple document that asks five questions about what a person wants during a life-threatening illness. The questions cover medical care, but they also cover mental and spiritual issues as well.
Here’s what the 5 questions cover:
The person I want to make care decisions for me when I can’tThe kind of medical treatment I want or don’t wantHow comfortable I want to beHow I want people to treat meWhat I want my loved ones to know
Helen & Jerry cover the 5 Wishes tool, and how it can help guide people to make their end of life wishes known to the significant people in their life. Find out more about it at www.agingwithdignity.org
