When it comes to the matter of an Advance Directive, there will be people reading this now that will have had to go through the absolutely devastating experience of looking after a loved one towards the end of their life. At this most difficult of times, you will have looked to do the best that you can for your loved ones, Where possible, you may even have asked those that you care for what they wanted as they came towards the end of their lives. However, sadly, more often than not you may be left just wondering what someone wants at this most difficult of times which can be somewhat emotionally troubling for even the best of us.
This is where an Advance Directive (or, more colloquially, a Living Will) can come into play to reduce some of the emotional distress and pressure that can prove so negative for those left to make the decisions in their place. For one thing, with this special document it is possible for you to advise your family and loved one of your medical treatment preferences were the worst to happen to you and you be unable to do so yourself.
As a result, your family and love ones will then have peace of mind in knowing that your wishes are being fulfilled. In addition, you could even save them from having to make serious decisions like whether or not you want life-prolonging treatment that is arguably a decision that no one should have to deal with themselves on behalf of someone else.
