So when the hospital asked me if I wanted hospice or to send her back to the nursing home I said hospice. Because that’s what she wanted. I think it’s pretty clear what certain people want. I’ve already got a will, a living will and a psychiatric will. My daughter and my sister both have copies. I used to be a CNA and never want to end up a vegetable. Being forced fed and given meds to stay alive. If we can do that for our pets do it for me too.
Definitely life will and “don’t resuscitate order” is a solution to many of these issues. It’s not the same as euthanasia though. (Not saying you said it is the same thing)
