End of Life Choices

[rgp]

The older my youngest grandkids get, the less I think about who I leave behind. If I'd have adopted Paxton, I'd have worried about it a lot until he was old enough to understand the inevitability; like 8 to 10 years from now..

After several conversations about this very thing, my wife accepts it's totally a given she'll be left behind, and I'm comfortable with that.

@Mitch86 - Yeah, I'm with you. I filed a Do Not Resuscitate form and an End of Life Directive with my doctor and the hospital where she works, and I have copies of them hanging on the side of the fridge for EMTs/First Responders. Also I signed + dated a copy and gave it to my oldest son's attorney. So, everyone's on the same page and hopefully there's no one left who can over-ride my decisions.

I need to do that myself. The DNR , living will, important papers on the fridge etc.

I have no family & live alone and as was mentioned, it only takes a fall / broken bone and after that all decisions are made for you by someone in a white coat.

All my close friends are dead except one and he's 18 months older than myself. Besides IMO, that is a huge favor to ask somone that isn't family.
