Product Description
The fail-safe plan for ensuring one's final wishes are respected
Advanced directives and living wills have improved our ability to dictate end-of-life care, but even these cannot guarantee that we will be allowed the dignity of a natural death. Designed by two sisters-one a doctor, one a lawyer-and drawing on their decades of experience, the five-step Compassion Protocol outlined in A Better Way of Dying offers a simple and effective framework for leaving caretakers concrete, unambiguous, and legally binding instructions about your wishes for your last days. Meant for people in every walk of life-from the elderly, to those in the early stages of mentally degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, to healthy young people planning for an unpredictable future-this book creates space for a discussion we all must have if we wish to ensure comfort and control at the end of our lives..

 This book is a MUST to help you decide how to end your life. May 28, 2010
MPW (Dallas,TX USA)
I work in the healthcare busines and see many, many patients and their family members struggling with end-of-life decisions. Many have never discussed their choices. This book is easy to read and provides examples that are very relevant to all. There are also forms that can be legally used to explain to your healthcare professionals what choices you desire. This book can be a catalyst for family discussions about your wishes. I have rediscussed and filled out the forms. My family knows exactly what my true wishes are. I think this book should be a mandatory read for everyone.
Important info that no one wants to know... July 23, 2010
Lezley K. Ahonen
Everyone should read this book and especially those of us over 50, it is info on death and dying and nursing home care, living wills etc that you will not get just making a living will or inquiring at a nursing home. So many things to consider now for us and for our families. A good and important read of info we all need but dont want to know!!

This book is a must read for baby boomers. The authors write in an easy to read format, with great stories to illustrate their points. The compassion protocol is worth filling out and keeping on file. You will want to share this book with all of your loved ones.
