Bucket List+1
A “bucket list” is commonly known as a set of life goals you want to accomplish within your life span. They are the things you want to do, places you want to visit, and people you want to see.
The “+1” component that many people neglect is a list that identifies what you want for yourself at end-of-life. You can document such wishes using an Advance Healthcare Directive. A directive takes a short time to complete and will inform your surviving loved ones and medical providers of your preferences when you pass. And it’s completely free.
A directive gives you choices at life’s end. Your loved ones will be confident about your wishes without the undue stressing of guessing what you might want in a medical crisis. By using HFO’s Bucket List +1 resources, you can have those decisions already made and saved in a bright orange folder to be executed should the need arise.
The Way You Want
When you write down your list and make your end-of-life wishes known to the people you care about, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you’ll be taken care of the way you want. It’s a gift to those tasked with caring for you.
