Book Overview
The fail-safe plan for ensuring one's final wishes are respected Advanced directives and living wills have improved our ability to dictate end-of-life care, but even these cannot guaran-tee that we will be allowed the dignity of a natural death. Designed by two sisters-one a doctor, one a lawyer-and drawing on their decades of experience, the five-step Compassion Protocol outlined in A Better Way of Dying offers a simple and effective framework for leaving caretakers concrete, unambiguous, and legally binding instructions about your wishes for your last days. Meant for people in every walk of life-from the elderly, to those in the early stages of mentally degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, to healthy young people planning for an unpredictable future-this book creates space for a discussion we all must have if we wish to ensure comfort and control at the end of our lives..

This book is a MUST to help you decide how to end your life.

I work in the healthcare busines and see many, many patients and their family members struggling with end-of-life decisions. Many have never discussed their choices. This book is easy to read and provides examples that are very relevant to all. There are also forms that can be legally used to explain to your healthcare professionals what choices you desire. This book can be a catalyst for family discussions about your wishes. I have rediscussed and filled out the forms. My family knows exactly what my true wishes are. I think this book should be a mandatory read for everyone.
Great Book
