    Living Will Preparation: What You Need to Know Before Completing Your Advance Directive (Part 1 of 3) | S3EP56
    2025/12/02
    Episode Summary: Meet Simone (story from Emory Critical Conditions Planning Guide). At 28, after a car accident, she's in a permanent vegetative state. Her family faces an impossible choice: keep her on life support indefinitely or allow natural death. The problem? They're guessing what she'd want because she never told them. In this episode, we walk through the critical thinking work you need to do BEFORE filling out your living will so your wishes are clear when it matters most. Essential Question: What decisions do you have to make about your values and priorities before you can meaningfully complete your advance directives? Episode Highlights: 00:03 - Simone's story: Why preparation matters 02:43 - Understanding advance directives (it's more than one form) 04:27 - Texas Living Will basics (and how to find your state's forms) 06:04 - The problem: Why people freeze mid-form 08:02 - The Emory Guide: Your prep work tool 10:24 - Terminal vs. irreversible conditions explained 12:19 - Specific treatments: feeding tubes, ventilators, CPR 14:32 - Santiago's feeding tube story 16:51 - Core values: What makes life worth living? 19:15 - Why emergency docs need quick, clear instructions 22:33 - Thinking about your healthcare agent 24:31 - Your action steps before the next episode Key Takeaways: • Advance directives are a collection of forms, not just one document • The real challenge isn't finding forms (many states offer them free) but being prepared to complete them thoughtfully • Terminal condition = expected to die within 6 months even with treatment • Irreversible condition = can be treated but never cured, can't care for yourself • The Emory Critical Conditions Planning Guide helps you clarify values before filling out legal forms • In emergencies, doctors need clear, concise wishes (not lengthy explanations) • Focus on the first 26 pages of the Emory Guide for the most critical work Action Steps: 1. Download the Emory Critical Conditions Planning Guide (link in show notes) 2. Work through scenarios - don't rush, this is deep personal thinking 3. Start thinking about who you'd trust as your healthcare agent and consider a backup person (don't approach them yet) 4.

    2025/11/18
    Episode Summary: For years, Honey thought you needed a lawyer to get your will and advance directives done. Then she discovered many states (including Texas!) provide these documents for free.

They're launching a series to walk you through each foundational legal document, one at a time.
