Ginger and Linda- I agree that it's important to have everything written out, notarized, and do whatever is necessary. We have everything finished and signed but I'm not so sure that my sister and son know what I would want as we never talk about it. With having so many cancers and still getting more I think that they don't like to think about it.

But it's a fantastic idea to have everything loaded onto your doctor's file. I hope that someday we all have a chip implanted so that all our up-to-date information and requests are at the ready.

My folks never talked about anything concerning death so it's very difficult for me to address this with my family. Of course, my husband knows everything but not the little things like who I want to leave two engagement rings to or who gets first dibs on stuff.

Ginger, in broad terms what do you mean by wishes?
