Life is unpredictable, to say the least; things can take a turn in an instant, expected or unexpected at any given time, that could leave a person in a situation where they are unable to communicate their wishes concerning a critical health decision.

Even further, making sure to convey desires clearly, because once a person is incapacitated the only thing they can count on are the instructions that they have in place.
I have given thought to this matter concerning myself. I’m a divorced Middle-aged woman, faced with the decision-making process of who will be my voice when I am no longer able to communicate my wishes.

Having this understanding in place, when the time comes for a family to have to make these decisions will avoid undue distress and lessen the burdened of decision-making during a period of crisis or grief.
