Have you prepared a Health Care Proxy and a living Will?
If you are like most people, you may not have done this yet. Reasons for not preparing health care proxy and living will:
Belief that Health Care Proxy and Living Will may require a lawyer and could cost hundreds of dollars.
It is a difficult subject and we are not ready to address it for ourselves and our loved ones. To discuss this with our loved ones could turnout to be a very difficult dialog. We may not even know how to approach this subject.
Although important, it is not urgent and therefore is being postponed.
Some avoid because of concerns about legal language and jargon.
To some of us, even if we know its importance and benefits, but we procrastinate!!
Indian Circle of Caring USA Inc., (ICC) has undertaken a drive to introduce, educate and encourage for you to take care of this.
