How can I ease the burden of arrangements for my loved ones? How about writing a list this November. Then updating it every November until - well, until you die?

Who would speak for me if I was temporarily or permanently unable to speak for myself? Do they know my wishes? Are they clear about the details? Why not have a November & #39;health-check& #39; on your spokesperson& #39;s understanding?

Are your wishes clear? Are they in writing? Remember you can only refuse, not demand, specific medical treatments.

The Month of the Dead isn& #39;t only about everybody else. We& #39;re all going to die.
Let& #39;s give it some thought.
