Me: Facts and Forecasts: A Guide for Now and Later (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615531878)

What if something happened to you -- and someone had to "step into your shoes" -- whether for a month, a year or the rest of your life? What if you couldn't communicate, even for a short period of time? What if you couldn't care for yourself? Worse yet, what if this happened and you weren't prepared? Who would you want to pick up the pieces, if even only on a temporary basis? Who is that person? Do you know? And more importantly -- does he/she? Would that person know where you kept your legal documents? What bills to expect to pay? What income to be collecting for you? And what about those tough decisions -- the final decisions of your life -- would that person know what you want? Does that person know what your beliefs are, what your wishes were? An illness, or worse, can be a challenging time -- emotionally draining, stressful, physically exhausting. For most of us, we think we are either going to be alive or dead -- rarely does anyone ever contemplate another alternative. But what if?This book assembles the many pieces of your full and complex life into one short workbook. The idea is to consolidate the information so that if something did happen to you, your family, a close friend, or even a Power of Attorney or Legal Guardian, could step in and help you out -- with the least disruption to you and your life and your matters. It also provides a convenient and safe place for you to identify and document your wishes and preferences, in the event that you become disabled and you're not able to care for yourself -- either physically or financially. And finally, what about those important end-of-life decisions -- the ones not many of us want to discuss? We each handle things in our own way -- so let this book assist you in communicating what is "your way." If you've never had that "uncomfortable" yet very necessary, discussion with your family and friends, then this is your time and your place to leave appropriate information that will be of help.
