Product Description

Living Wills, the Teri Schiavo case, how we want to be cared for one day -- all of the issues raised by these topics -- and more -- are covered in the new, updated, and expanded 2nd edition of this best-selling guide. When the day comes that any of us find ourselves in the hands of a "caregiver," it is critical that our wishes and desires are known -- and more importantly, respected and followed. But, if we don't prepare for that day, there are no promises on how we will be cared for. While most of us would hope to be cared for by a spouse, an adult child, close friends, or a hand-picked facility, the chances are that the majority of us will be cared for by strangers. It is important that these people "know us" and are able to relate to our needs and desires -- especially if we can't articulate those wishes ourselves. That is where Who Cares: A Loving Guide for My Future Caregivers comes in. With this tool in hand, anyone can provide all of the critical data and information about their life for future caregivers to read and put to use. This amazing guide covers wide-ranging topics: from food preferences to music and movies, personal positions on such topics as heroic efforts and life support, where important papers are kept and what to do with pets upon your illness, how you want your funeral to be arranged and executed, and tons of other highly valuable pieces of personal information. With a copy of Who Cares in hand, your future caregivers (be they family or stranger) will have a better understanding of who they are caring for and what you want done on your behalf. There will be no questions left unanswered -- and it is all in your handwriting.
