My husband and I are just starting on this after losing my father recently with an advance directive that had I don't know checked for all the standard questions and without being notarized. It was useless and I'd like to be very clear and comprehensive in ours so no one has to decide anything, it will all be there.

>But like if I get the kind of illness (dementias) where I will lose myself and my memories and have to relive my early life experiences.... I will literally not tell anyone and take myself out of the equation as peacefully as possible like the woman from an article I read who got end of life care delivered from Mexico and got to spend time with her family for a year before finally passing happy and safe.<

Would you be able to share the article info please, in case this care in the not too distant future.
