Peaceful Transitions: An Ironclad Strategy to Die When and How YOU Want (First Edition)

The product description for Peaceful Transitions below refers to the FIRST Edition (2009), which was available only in paperback format. The SECOND Edition (2011) that replaces this book is available in several formats: as a hardcover book and as two separate paperback books. The hardback ''combined book'' covers the topics reflected by both subtitles: Stories of Success and Compassion, and Plan Now, Die Later Ironclad Strategy. The two separate paperback books each cover one topic. To explain:

Peaceful Transitions: Stories of Success and Compassion serves mainly to inform and to motivate you about why it is so important to engage in diligent Advance Care Planning. It illustrates the difference planning can make, in terms of how long and how much you suffer, and what kinds of physicians and institutions may not agree to cooperate with your last wishes. The book also includes heartwarming stories of success and compassion that illustrate how peaceful and timely transitions are possible if you do plan ahead. Peaceful Transitions: Plan Now, Die Later Ironclad Strategy mainly provides explanations and a step-by-step guide on what specific steps you must take to make sure that others will honor your last wishes if someday, you cannot speak for yourself especially if you suffer from Advanced Dementia or unbearable pain and suffering. It also includes suggestions on how to select a person to make medical treatment decisions for you (proxy/agent), whom you can trust.

The two separate books are also available as Kindle e-books.

For those who already purchased the First Edition, the separate Plan Now, Die Later Ironclad Strategy is the more important separate book to read, although there are some new stories about the Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment in the Stories book. If you purchased the First Edition and would like a copy of this separate book but you have limited funds, you can contact the non-profit organization Caring Advocates to request a free e-book. (Some recent purchasers received the First Edition with this understanding.) Caring Advocates wants everyone to have the most up-to-date and effective forms so others will honor their last wishes.
