Take part in a practical, hand-on class preparing your end-of-life documents. Leave with a completed advance directive. You will be guided through the process of documenting your wishes about the kind of medical care you do or do not want at the end of life. You will have the opportunity to work with the End of Life Washington Advance Directive, which combines a living will and durable power of attorney for health care into one document. There is no cost for the seminar, documents or notarization. Karen Griffith and Judy McCay are sisters and volunteers with end of Life Washington. They train volunteers to sit vigil at the beside of dying patients. Karen currently serves on the board of the Hospice Foundation for Jefferson Healthcare in Port Townsend. As she gets older, Karen says the more real and less theoretical end-oflife choices have become. She has a passion to educate people on what those choices are and has helped many clients walk that final journey. When her husband was in hospice and expressed his wish to take advantage of the Death with Dignity Act, Judy became acquainted with End of Life WA. Judy strongly believes every adult should be prepared for future medical situations by having completed an advance directive and have an understanding of their options when faced with the end of their life.
