I have never done so, although I have told my husband what I want. <BR/><BR/>Sadly, although he is considerably younger than I, he has early Alzheimer's Dementia. At this point, only his short-term memory is afflicted, but the future is uncertain and I cannot count on him to remember what I want done with my remains. <BR/><BR/>I am probably in denial as well in that I have done nothing about this. Thank you for the prodding this post has given me to take care of business.<BR/><BR/>Anna Nicole Smith's bizarre situation should convince everyone to do so, even though most of us do not have the kind of wealth she leaves behind. The idea of a body decomposing while survivors fight over it is utterly horrifying, and no matter how she lived her life, we all deserve more dignity in death.heartinsanfranciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34955137.post-12014159851436344052007-02-21T08:37:00.000-08:002007-02-21T08:37:00.000-08:001-- love the art2-- I should get something togethe...1-- love the art<BR/>2-- I should get something together, but I havent yet. <BR/>http://sweetmeander.blogspot.com/ just did a post about what music you want at your funeral-- I want an Irish wake, talk to me while I am sill alive and maybe when Im gone it wont be so hard to let goCitymousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491021367590323514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34955137.post-2986649350335984412007-02-20T19:42:00.000-08:002007-02-20T19:42:00.000-08:00I agree it's so important to designate decison-mak...I agree it's so important to designate decison-makers for you, and to let your wishes be known. But, despite having a clear DNR in your records, your decision-maker does not have to follow them. Sometimes, out of guilt or fear or whatever reason, they don't feel able to follow through with a DNR. So, it's important to designate someone who really knows and respects what you would want to have done. I've seen a lot of reversed decisions with possibly a lot of unnecessary suffering.KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02114277144629595998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34955137.post-32814593036401516202007-02-20T13:41:00.000-08:002007-02-20T13:41:00.000-08:00That sounds like a very peacful way to leave this ...That sounds like a very peacful way to leave this world.
