PLAN FOR THE EXPERIENCE YOU WANT
MyDyingPlan
This plan gives you peace of mind knowing that when you are dying your loved ones and carers know what you want so you can have the dying experience you want. Your MyDyingPlan (MDP) is your final opportunity to have your say. It ensures that medical decisions are made according to your choices and that your preferences for your last moments can be respected.

Your MyDyingPlan is a document, sometimes called a Living Will, that captures your decisions for medical treatment, care, and comfort when you are dying and cannot speak for yourself. It provides guidance for your loved ones, caregivers, and doctors for your final moments.
Once you’ve put in the work to define your wishes; don’t let it go to waste by keeping it to yourself. If the right people don’t know what matters to you, they cannot advocate on your behalf when it counts. Sharing your plans is just as important as making them.

The document covers:
Medical directives (e.g. resuscitation, ventilation, medication )
Personal preferences (e.g. who you want by your side, environment preferences)
Cultural, spiritual, or religious values
Optional legal signatures (witness and/or lawyer)
