Speakers from the Senior Initiative in Grove City visit senior centers and community group meetings to talk about end-of-life preparedness using the five wishes plan, which, according to speaker Cynthia Lamont, is a "more detailed type of living will. It's an opportunity to give people more details for when they are in a terminal condition."

Here is a brief rundown of the five wishes:

- Name a health care surrogate who will make health care decisions for you if you are unable.

- Compose a list of health treatments you will and will not want. This is the part that most resembles a living will.

- Address how you will like to be made comfortable. This includes details such as a willingness to take pain medication in exchange for side effects like drowsiness. Warm baths, lotions and specific types of music might also be included as details for keeping you comfortable.

- Detail how you would like others to treat you. Let people know whether you will want someone there holding your hand or whether you would like to be left mostly alone.

- Make a list of what you want your loved ones to know. "Often, many people, more so men, tend to be people who don't tell their children, 'I love you,'" Lamont said. This part of the five wishes helps ensure that things don't go unsaid.
