This week i have watched the TED talk "Prepare for a good end of life" by Judy MacDonald Johnston. Ms. Johnston gives us steps In order to help us die the way we want. I know it sounds a little weird but its not.
Ms.Johnston gives us steps. The first step is to make a plan. "Saying I want to die at home Isn't a plan" says Ms.Johnston. When she says make a plan she means answering straight forward questions about where you want to be when you are no longer independent. For example what do you want In terms of medical intervention? And who do you thinks going to be there to help you? Step two is to have advocates. By this she means have more then two people to help you achieve where you want to be after you pass. "You want somebody who has the time and proximity to do this job well" said Ms.Johnston. Step three is to be hospital ready. Prepare a list with all your medications and all your passed surgery's and physician information. Step four is you need to have caregivers. Finally is to discuss your last words for example who you want to be there and speak to you.
This TED talk helped me out a lot. It helps me with picking where I want to die and who I want to be there when I'm about to pass. Sounds weird I know but its really not. Its just helping me prepare fore a good end of life.
I recommend this TED talk to people who want to die a special way. Theirs nothing weird about wanting to die a specific way.
