This month Vanity Fair had an interview with Bill Moyers. I have always been a big fan of Moyers and was struck by the novelty and thoughtfulness of his answers here. I was also struck by his answer to one question that was so typical that it could have been from anyone on the street:
How would you like to die?
Gently, at home, free of pain, in the presence of the people I love and who love me.
I am always struck by how common that sentiment is and how uncommon it comes to be even for people who could with proper hospice care. If you have similar goals, you can make it much more likely that it becomes a reality for you by doing estate planning that includes naming a health care agent, providing a directive for health care, and have a real conversation with your family about your wishes.
