Death Midwifery Services
Living Will/Advanced Directives
Will offer guidance and support in completing the Five Wishes Form, a living will document. Five Wishes is written in everyday language and helps people express their wishes in areas that matter most — the personal and spiritual in addition to the medical and legal. It also helps you describe what good care means to you, whether you are seriously ill or not. I have these forms available in English and English/Spanish. A living will form, Voicing my Choices, for adolescents and young adults who are living with a chronic illness or are approaching end of life is available as well so they too can make empowered decisions about their care, and what they want to happen after they die.
