Synopsis

What modern medicine can do and shoulddo aren't always the same thing. The space between can and should is known as The Fog Zone, and it's full of hard decisions for everyone involved. This book helps you consider and navigate those decisions before, during, and after a medical event.

Using personal experience and relatable stories, Deborah Day Laxson guides you through advance care plans, health care agents, and other key preparations. The thoughtful framework of this book empowers you to define and document your own unique values and priorities and then discuss them with your loved ones, health care agent, and medical professionals.

Understand your options, communicate your wishes, and burn away the fog.
