“In the End, We Will Remember Not the Words of Our Enemies, but the Silence of Our Friends.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
Life may be erratic. You could be having a wonderful vacation one minute, then suddenly find yourself bedridden in a hospital a month later. Unexpected occurrences like these highlight the need for a system that ensures your loved ones are aware of what is going on and are ready to take action on your behalf in the unlikely event of the unthinkable.
Silence is not an option when taking care of an older loved one who has a significant medical condition. It all comes down to planning, communication, and making sure the people you love have all the knowledge they require. Imagine having no direction or advice when you are thrown into a caring job. Overwhelming, right? Now, let me share a story that might resonate with you.
A Caregiver’s Dilemma
Lilly and her grandmother Simon had always been close. They had an unbreakable friendship and numerous memories together. Lilly became Simon’s primary caregiver as her health started to deteriorate. She played the part lovingly and devotedly, but it presented obstacles she wasn’t prepared for.
Simon had a convoluted medical background, was on several drugs, and had particular preferences for care. Lilly struggled to remember every little detail, even though the nurses and physicians needed it in order to give the greatest care. What if Lilly wasn’t present to provide an explanation in the event of an emergency? What if Lilly needed to travel for work? The thought of leaving her grandmother without a clear guide was terrifying.
The Search for a Solution
Lilly needed a way to ensure that all the essential information about Simon’s care was readily available to those who needed it. She considered creating a will, but the process felt too overwhelming and formal for the immediate need she had. Plus, a will wouldn’t cover all the day-to-day details and medical instructions.
One day, Lilly imagined a system that could solve her problems. A secure platform where she could store all the critical information about Simon’s care. It would be accessible only to trusted family members and caregivers, ensuring both privacy and security. This system would offer peace of mind by having everything from medical histories to emergency contacts in one place, prepared for any unexpected occurrences.
Imagining the Perfect Tool
This system would be customizable, allowing Lilly to update and tailor information as needed.
It would include features like:
- Medical Preferences: Documenting specific treatments and do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders.
- Medication Management: Listing current medications, dosages, and schedules.
- Healthcare Contacts: Sharing contact information for doctors and specialists.
- Emergency Procedures: Providing instructions for handling medical emergencies.
Additionally, it would have an automatic notification feature. If Lilly was unable to confirm her well-being, the system would automatically notify her designated trustees, ensuring that they received all the necessary information without delay.
Finding Peace of Mind
Lilly wouldn’t have to worry as much about what would occur if she couldn’t be there for her grandma; instead, she could concentrate more on enjoying her time with her. She could go about her day knowing that, come what may, Simon’s care would continue without a hitch. As Lilly pondered this perfect tool, she realized that what she was imagining already existed. It’s called Just In Case Messages (JICM). JICM offers exactly what she needed: a secure, customizable, and comprehensive platform for sharing vital information.
