I hope everyone has learned this lesson.
"I hope everyone has learned this lesson."
We have a lot of young/successful relatives, who haven't learned this lesson.
We know a lot of people, who are our age, 60 something, who haven't learned this lesson.
A 40 something friend whose parents died this past two years has a new summary close with his friends and relatives who are dragging their feet on these issues.
He tells them if they want to die like Terri did with over two weeks of starvation and dehydration, they should continue to keep their heads in the sand. They can leave that decision up to liberal California judges/lawyers and the death industry. He called up everyone of them and told them that he would just stand back and watch the courts do whatever, unless they documented what they wanted to happen. Apparently it was a big wake up call for them.
He told me yesterday at church, his two brothers, their wives and his sister and her husband will be having private discussions this week. Then, all of them will have a family meeting this weekend to get their wishes in writing, on video with witnesses for the paperwork and video.
His older brother has a 20 something son and daughter in Stanford. They at first refused to participate, until brother said that since they were over 21, they had to participate. If they didn't, he wouldn't participate in funding their education after the family meeting this weekend. Both of them will be there.
