Five Wishes
Five Wishes is an advance directive that talks about your personal, emotional, and spiritual needs as well as your medical wishes. Five Wishes lets you say exactly how you wish to be treated if you get seriously ill. It was written with the help of the nation’s leading experts in end-of-life care and is easy to use. All you have to do it check a box, circle a direction, or write a few sentences.
