Dear Jean: Could you address the issue of planning for end-of-life a little more? We have done extensive planning, but we are concerned about what will happen if we have dementia. We would not want our lives prolonged if we are no longer able to make those decisions for ourselves, and we don’t want our children to have to make those decisions either.
My sister died of Alzheimer’s, but in later stages, she was also treated for cancer. I don’t think she would have chosen that.
It would be helpful to have a document explaining that, and would we have to have it witnessed? Are there specific statements that we could use?…
