Have you thought about end of life decisions?

I have started to think about end of life decisions lately.
I may only be 60 but so many people die "early".
I have nothing in place at the moment. No will, no care instructions, no plan on what happens if I become incapacitated.
Nothing in place regarding internment.
I am a registered organ donor but who would know that at the time of my death?
I have no one I have confided in about these issues.
I think it is time I talk to my GP to get some advice about these important issues.

Don't know if it's even available where you are, yet that organ donation could possibly be available on your id or drivers license. They might charge a bit extra for that. It is available here in the USA.

There are as well separate cards you can keep near your ID for organ donations. There use to be here before it became available on drivers licenses.

@DeWayfarer I do have a plastic Donor card. So someone will go through my wallet for ID purposes.
I have the card with my license.

@Gusman BTW I'm in the same situation as you. And I'm 63 now.

@DeWayfarer I will have a talk with my GP and get some advice/literature as to the steps necessary.
