Final Five Wishes

Final Five Wishes

I’m a single thirty-four year old woman that tries my best to live my life that is pleasing to God. Death is something that I have placed in the back of my mind. Before I leave this earth, my prayer is that God blesses me with a husband and at least one child. The idea that I have to write my final five wishes actually give me chills. Being thirty-four years old without any kids or husband can sometimes have a person feeling depressed, but I’m waiting patiently for God to send me the desires of my heart. I do have a supportive family that has my back with whatever decision that I may make. I’m not afraid of death; so therefore, writing my final five wishes should be a breeze.

When it comes to the point that I’m no longer able to make health care decisions for myself, I would like for my sister, Cortaunga S. Moore to make those decisions. I choose my sister because she knows me better than both of my parents does. We have been roommates for the last seven years, and I do believe that she will make the best decisions for me during this time. If I’m in the last stages of death then I want to be made comfortable as possible. If my doctors believe that surgery will save my life then, I will opt for surgery. If going to a facility that will give me the best treatment, then I’m willing to be moved, but it has to be within six hours of driving time for my family to come visit. I don’t want to put them in a bind in trying to come visit me. I really don’t want to be placed in a nursing home. She has access to my bank accounts now. She is also my beneficiary.

Any treatment that is necessary. I don’t want to be able to feel any pain. Whatever kind of medication that it will take to keep my out of my misery, I’m willing to accept it. I’m a very clean person now, so make sure that I clean and comfortable. If I have to eat pureed food then feed it to me. Do not leave me on life support past three days, especially if I’m in or if in the end I will...
