Family Communication and Health Care Directives

7/15/2015

11 Comments

 
Picture
Communication is the single most important step in health care planning. Talk about your wishes with the people who may be called upon to speak or decide for you and your family. Why?

  • No matter what your advance directive says, others may not fully understand your wishes. The more thoroughly you communicate, the easier it will be for everyone to respect your wishes.
  • It will help you think about what you really want. Others will ask you questions or tell you things that will make you think about your wishes in another way.
  • It will help your loved ones make difficult decisions with less pain, doubt, and anxiety.
  • It may save money. Sometimes families continue medical treatments long past the point where they are helpful, simply because they are unsure what their loved one would have wanted. This is emotionally and financially costly… and unnecessary.

And the closer the relative is, the easier the task is to communicate your wishes and desires! Judging from my own experience, the better person to come your ideas across is my husband!
