17 StartingtheDiscussion Do you remember what happened to so-and-so and what his family went through? I don t want you to have to go through that with me. That s why I want to talk about this now, while we can. Neither Richard Nixon nor Jackie Kennedy was placed on life support. I wonder if they had Advance Directives and made what they wanted clear in advance. Mr. Darrow, my lawyer, says that before I complete some legal documents, I need to talk over with you some plans about end-of-life medical care. Tool#6 Tool 6 / Page 2
18 Tool#6 ResistancetotheDiscussionisCommon,forexample Mom, I don t see what good it does to talk about such things. It s all in God s hands anyway. Dad, I already know you don t want any heroic measures if things are really bad. There s nothing more we need to discuss about it. We ll do the right thing if the situation arises. I just can t talk about this. It s too painful, and talking about it just makes it more likely that it will happen. InResponse I know this makes you feel uncomfortable, but I need you to listen, to hear what I have to say. It s very important to me. Yes, death is in God s hands, but how we live until that moment is in our hands, and that s what I need to talk to you about. If it is too overwhelming for you right now, I understand. But let s make an appointment for a specific time to sit down together to discuss this. All right? If we don t talk about this now, we could both end up in a situation that is even more uncomfortable. I d really like to avoid that if I could.
