In reply to hbksloss. Well, captive audience and all is what I was thinking!

Sounds more like trail talk than plane ride, but then again I’m married to a man who views plane rides as perfect time to get work done. Me, I prefer reading a good book, preferably an engrossing novel. I’ld be interested in the 36 question exercise, just not on a plane!

In reply to wendyj59. Good points, Wendy. We do have a general philosophy and have appointed Health Care Powers of Attorney, but really there is so much to discuss; if not on the plane, maybe on the trails. Thanks for writing.

I’m not sure I’d want to have either of those discussions on a plane with a distinct lack of privacy. I’d be more likely to go with the Being Mortal though as I think it’s important to have those sort of discussions. “Shoot me” wouldn’t be a great option here in the UK given our gun laws but I would hope not to have to go through the indiginities my mum suffered during end stage Alzheimers. We have at least discussed funerals in that we both want to be cremated and as far as my husband is concerned I can do what I like with his ashes. He won’t be around to care! (On the assumption he goes first of course.) It worries me that some people never have these discussions at all. It leaves a burden on those left behind.
