This sounds like a worthwhile organization.

Meanwhile, I need to make an appointment to make an advance directive. Terri's predicament makes it very clear how necessary this is.

(I wonder: doesn't the girlfriend of Terri's HINO [husband in name only] worry just a little about her fate if she goes ahead and marries him?)

The Hino woman reminds me of the country music song from some years back with this line:

if you want a man
who'll take the ring off of his hand
and turn around and say he'll be true
He deserves you.

(Which was a very subtle way of saying "You dumb A$_; What are you thinking!")

Please be very careful as you go about the process of filing an advance directive. They are not the panacea that the media is making them out to be.
