Peaceful Transitions: Stories of Success and Compassion, describes the powerful opposition to Natural Dying. This book has two goals: to educate and to motivate. It describes how to overcome their challenges to make sure others will honor your Known Wishes by creating your ”ironclad strategy”:

How to select an appropriate proxy/agent.
How to complete several forms (and why all are necessary).
How to alert 9-1-1 first responders and make your most current forms available when critical decisions need to be made.

A story shows how a hypothetical person’s ironclad strategy successfully overcame a series of challenges. He started planning at age 45 and attained his goal of a PEACEFUL TRANSITION that was also TIMELY: neither prolonged nor premature at age 90.
