[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd reply: You're not the boss of me. Seriously though, I'm not cool with him giving you orders (with a helping of "you have nothing better to do"). You need to talk to your parents: hey mom and dad, bro just sent me this email--can we chat? That's a perfect opening to broaching the topic. [/quote] This, use the opportunity to explore their thoughts before there is a need. See what they envision. Of course, that can change based on circumstances, but starting the conversation is a good idea. Also find out their wishes for end of life care. At what point do they want, or not want, intervention. If you are part of those decisions, make sure you have that paperwork, in an email, in case you ever need it so you can be an advocate for their wishes.[/quote]
