Hello @Exoplanet
Family is a ************ at times...
However I try to word this it feels so cold in content...
When discussing legal matters though...one has to separate emotions from facts..
You have the advanced health directive set up and a copy held with your doctor.
You are in charge still even though it probably does not feel like that...
As far as the executor or executrix of your estate...who holds a copy of that?
I am thinking that a copy of the advanced health directive along with a copy of your will be put in safe custody at your bank where you have your bank account that your benefit is paid into.
Your bank will be notified and all holdings as in safe custody will be checked.
This covers you legally as well as the copy with your doctor.
You have mentioned your other wishes re your beloved animals.. this too can be held in safe custody if you so wish..
Most importantly though is that you feel that you have everything in place in regard to your wishes..
The majority of families bicker for whatever reasons...sometimes not greed..sometimes fear...anxiety within themselves..even guilt..
Lastly try not to let your energy be wasted on those around you...they have far more energy that they can utilise to sort out their own emotional baggage..
No disrespect...
More out of respect for you and your feelings...your desires and wishes...you as a human being with every right to choose what you want for you..
much love to you @Exoplanet 💜
I truly hope that I have not offended you with how I have worded my response..
I have struggled to balance the emotions that I feel for you along with necessities around one's wishes.
My greatest wish is to help you in the best way that I can and let you know that I continue to support you as you..

Hearing you and walking with you @Exoplanet Maybe an adventure like you love so much would be timely - a couple of days to yourself just to sit with all your thoughts and feelings somewhere beautiful and peaceful. Just a thought. Take care xx Eth

Dear @Exoplanet
I am really glad that your daughter's visit went well and she is making a daily effort at contact. Amazing and beautiful.
I feel a lot fo connection to your story and a little tongue tied. Even if I do not write a lot. I just send pics as a token.
You do matter and you do matter here.

My favourite waterfall in the world. I used to live quite close to it in the bottom of the valley. There are 5 creeks that originate at the bottom of these falls.
Sending you wishes for moments of beauty @Exoplanet

Love to all my friends
A little fear is becoming noticeable, the next scan [when I get the appointment] will show whether the cancer has spread, if so where to, etc. I've asked both my Daughter & Sister, if I tell them when it is & they're able to make it, would they be able to be with me. I really don't like the sound of having a radio active substance enter my bloodstream; a known unhealthy substance being used in our health treatments, bamboozals my brain. I wouldn't be consenting to it if I wasn't ending. If it hasn't spread I fear the push for treatment, if it has I fear the shite getting real.
