SANCTUARY
INC. was conceived with the awareness that we are all confronted with the
inevitability of our ultimate demise. Too many people are dying in pain and too
often the end-of-life comes after prolonged suffering marked by unwanted,
expensive and invasive medical procedures.
Every competent adult
should be aware of their inalienable right to die peacefully, with comfort and
dignity yet studies have shown that the majority die with moderate to severe
pain, hooked up to machines in intensive care units.
SANCTUARY
is the advocate that LACK OF COMMUNICATION is the primal
and fundamental essence of this dilemma. If you are concerned with the
possibility of a future disability that may render you incapable of
communicating, it is critical that, prior to the emergency, you have discussions
with:
|
1. YOUR
FAMILY.
|
2. YOUR
DOCTOR.
|
3. YOUR
ATTORNEY.
|
|
4. YOUR
SPIRITUAL ADVISOR.
|
These discussions are
indispensable to determine and document your health care wishes and avoid the
anxiety, confusion, guilt ridden family or professional ethical restraints that
result as a consequence of your health care wishes being unknown.
SANCTUARY Inc., seeks to
foster and engender communication among the parties and does not, in any way
propose to counsel, supplement, substitute or infringe upon the authority or
influence of:
YOUR
FAMILY and their emotional involvement.
YOUR DOCTOR with his professional medical
expertise.
YOUR ATTORNEY with whom you have the
protection of uncompromised loyalty.
YOUR SPIRITUAL ADVISOR who provides spiritual
comfort and peace of mind.
