In this excerpt, Elaine shares a real-life cautionary tale about what can happen when end-of-life documents exist—but aren’t accessible when you need them.

After her aunt suffers a medical crisis, hospital staff ask for an advanced directive. Without it, the medical team is legally obligated to pursue aggressive life-prolonging measures that may result in prolonged suffering and loss of independence—exactly what many people say they don’t want.
This story is emotional, practical, and unforgettable—and it clearly illustrates why advanced directives are not “morbid paperwork.” They are a gift of clarity and mercy for the people who may one day have to make decisions for you.
