Core Competencies for ACP

Last night, my husband and I were sitting in the

living room and I said to him, 'I never want to live in

a vegetative state, dependent on some machine

and fluids from a bottle’.

He got up, unplugged the computer, and threw out my

wine.

Here is my favourite joke. Dad left it to me, now you must keep it alive

Thank you for this memory. I treasure it.

I always wanted to tell you this but was too shy/afraid/embarrassed.

I can’t remember if I told you this before but.....

There is something I have learned that I would like you to know

great at it
