Living Wills
Accidents happen. There is no way of telling what the future holds for any of us. No one really wants to think about creating living wills but it is good practice to have one just in case of a tragic turn of events. The last thing that you want is your loved ones trying to cope with your condition and trying to make such a drastic decision as well.
Creating living wills is a responsibility that rests on many of our shoulders. We tend to shrug this responsibility off without a second thought but this is not really fair to those who are closest to us. However, the decisions are not very easy to make. Many people, including myself, are at a loss when it comes to living wills because the issues are so complex and so controversial.
This is of particular concern to me because I have a new family. My daughter is only one year old and my husband and I have only been married for three years. There is no wonder that living wills have not come into our thoughts until recently. When you don’t have children you tend not to think about such issues.
Now I know that we have to develop living wills for each of us and this is very scary and very confusing. The difficulty lies in our beliefs about life in general. Unfortunately, I don’t know what really happens when someone dies and I’m in no particular hurry to find out. Time will tell in that instance. Curiosity on the subject is an issue but I figure that I sill find out soon enough.
My husband has a very different grasp on the afterlife. He has very strong convictions and hold tight to them. Faith is prominent in him and he is decided on the issue. For this reason, I chose to let him decide our living wills. This only makes sense to me because I have no particular conviction.
However, his faith in the afterlife has not helped him to be able to make a decision about our living wills. The problem with this particular issue is the state in which the body is in while such legal matters come into play. Now we have to consider how we define life rather than our faith in the afterlife.
This is far more complex because there is no way of knowing what is in the cards. What if we opt for an order of Do Not Resuscitate and find ourselves panicked behind comas when the living wills are carried out. This is a bleak outlook on the issue. That may be why we haven’t completed our living wills as of yet.
