Hospital or not?

It was from website called compassion in dying. It is a most kind and helpful website. I wish you well with your decision. As I’m now on my own, despite having 3 married sons and 5 grandsons, I too will not go to hospital. If it’s looking bad then I will overdose and die in my own bed. I’m 60 but feel 90 most of the time.

If you look online you can find a living will. We filled one out when my husband was dying from cancer, it was most helpful.

DH and I have just had a very useful conversation. Neither of us wishes to go to hospital if we develop Covid-19, and especially not to die alone with no one we love to hold a hand. How do we make this wish known if neither of us is able to state our intentions, and how do we stop paramedics from following protocol? Does this mean we can’t access any help? And who would we ask, given that the GP surgery is not it’s normal self?
