Miss Norma, an elderly woman with curly gray hair and glasses, smiles warmly while sitting at a table with a drink topped with whipped cream. Text on the image is a quote from Miss Norma: "I know one thing, if they tell me I have cancer I don’t want any of that chemo, no poking and prodding — no treatment. I’ll just leave it be." Her birth and death dates are also listed: March 31, 1925 – September 30, 2016
Miss Norma, wearing a white button-down shirt and glasses, sits beside her daughter-in-law Ramie, who wears a white cap and tie-dye shirt. They're both laughing and enjoying each other's company. Above the women, there is a quote from Ramie about helping families discuss end-of-life choices: "Our greatest hope is that Miss Norma's story will help other families have an easier time broaching this difficult subject. Although we know that driving your loved one around in a motorhome at the end of their life is certainly not the answer for everyone, we must ask, 'How would you like to be walked home?'"

Driving Miss Norma chose to forgo treatment and embraced living on her own terms. Her story serves as a powerful reminder: You deserve a say in your care.

You can’t plan everything, but you can think about the big things and discuss them with loved ones. Making your health care wishes known, and taking the time to put them in writing before there’s an emergency, is an important part of advanced care planning. #NationalHealthCareDecisionsDay #NHCDD
