“I don’t want to be responsible for making the decision to ‘pull the plug,’ but I know that is what my loved one wants.”
This is a common fear for many families. The burden of making end-of-life decisions can be overwhelming.
How to Remove the Burden
The way to make sure that they are making the decision and you are just ensuring their wishes are honored is to have two specific documents signed by your loved one:
Power of Attorney for Healthcare
Living Will
The Result: Honoring Wishes, Not Making Decisions
By having these documents in place, it means that you are only there to ensure that their wishes are honored.
Crucially, you don’t have the responsibility to make that decision yourself.
