Think about it

Think About It is a public service initiative that helps people consider and communicate their preferences for care during advanced illness or disease. Its online form is designed to make conversations about end-of-life care easier to begin and to help reduce the pressure on loved ones who may otherwise need to make difficult decisions without knowing a person’s wishes.

Users can complete the form free of charge and as often as they like. It guides them in identifying their personal feelings and attitudes toward the care they would prefer. When they submit it, a password-protected PDF is sent to an email address they choose, so they can keep a digital copy and share their wishes with someone they trust. The site says it does not save users’ details and that their information is not shared. It also explains how to get started and provides an FAQ, along with Home, Documents, Contact, and Partners sections.
