#AdvanceDirective
Having an #advancedirective is a very good thing, but having a #healthcare representative or #powerofattorney is still so important. Having someone to advocate for what *you* want if you are unable to speak for yourself is helpful more often than you’d think. #deatheducation #death #endoflife

**Don’t keep it to yourself!** Create an #advancedirective about your wishes at #endoflife, but *also* communicate those wishes to lots of folks - health care team, family, friends. Early communication is the key to increasing your chances for a good #death. #palliativecare #hospice #choiceindying

Nothing says 'I love you' like awkward conversations about resuscitation preferences 💕
But seriously—your person should know:
✅ Your wishes if you can't speak for yourself
✅ Where you keep important documents

CPR on TV looks gentle. Real CPR is intense — and can be traumatic for loved ones to witness.
An advance care directive lets you decide what interventions you’d want long before a crisis.

End-of-life planning is not morbid - it is reclamation. When we define what matters most before crisis, we transform anxiety into agency and leave our loved ones with clarity, not guesswork.

An #AdvanceDirective can:
- appoint an agent to make #HealthCare decisions for you if you can't
- provide instructions for future care, and
- communicate your goals & values.

Here's a resource from on what it takes to make one in each state:
