Five Wishes® is different from other
living wills
Five Wishes is written in simple English
(and Spanish), rather than hard-to-understand doctor and lawyer language.
The inclusion of personal and spiritual wishes, and blank lines available
to personalize these wishes, allow you to specify such things as whom
you would like by your bedside, and whether you would like to have
music played, or scripture or beloved poems read to you.
Five Wishes® is legally valid
Thanks to the help of the American Bar
Association, Five Wishes is legally valid in 34 states and DC.
Even in those states where it may not be legally
valid, it is still used as a helpful tool for expressing how individuals
want to be cared for. More than 1,000 organizations in America are
distributing Five Wishes.
Five Wishes is a gift to your loved ones When
you fill out Five Wishes, you’re not just doing something good for
yourself, you’re giving a gift to those you love. All too often, not
knowing how a loved one would like to be cared for causes anxiety,
guilt, and distress for those who are forced to make the decisions.
By making these decisions now you help to ease this burden for those
you love.
Five Wishes® is a tool to help you talk with your family and physician
Five Wishes not only helps you put your wishes in writing, it helps
guide your conversations with your family and doctor. Talking about
care at the end of life is not exactly an easy thing to do. Five Wishes
helps you have this conversation, and guides the discussion.
