Ok, so I am coppying off of Laura. However, I think a lot about what might happen if I were to die/be in some sort of an accident. So here's my unofficial, however exact wishes and living will:
If I am to go into a coma and there are signs of brain function (meaning I could recover and live a normal life) do keep me on life support for a reasonable amount of time. I don't want to be a financial burden on my family, however if I could completly recover, I guess there's no point in pulling the plug.
If I am to enter a vegatative state or to suffer sever brain dammage with no hope of full recovery, keep me on life support for three days, and then please pull the plug. You will not be killing me, because I will be already clinically dead in every way. And even if my body may be alive, that is not living. Please allow me to die with dignity rather than leaving a shell to slowly wither away. Working in a nursing home, I have seen this all too much, and I never ever want it to happen to myself or my loved ones.
I would like my body to be sent off as a viking warrior: put me in a boat with my weapons and the skulls of mine enemies, set me on fire, and push me out to sea. If this is not possiable (hehe) I would like to be cremated and have my ashes scattered in some quiet peaceful area of a forest...perhaps the pine forest in Oak Openings (this is in all seriousness). Make a nice little plack, and plant a tree for me.
I don't think this is morbid in any way...it's important that people know these things, even though I do not have an actual will at this point, hopefully my wishes can be followed. Anyway, I'm happy with my life, and I've never been afraid of death because I live the way I want to and I know God is with me. There will always be things that go undone, but the important part is that I have never had any regrets.
