Thinking about a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)? 💬

At The Omega Course, we often talk about the importance of planning ahead - not out of fear, but out of care.

A Lasting Power of Attorney allows someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you’re ever unable to. It can bring clarity, reduce stress for loved ones, and ensure that your wishes are respected at a time when they matter most.

There are two types of LPA - one for health and care decisions, and one for property and financial affairs. Both are about keeping your voice central, even if you cannot speak for yourself.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

When I am dying, I don’t want the last sounds I hear to be machines beeping and alarms going off telling me what I already know, which is that my body is shutting down and I am dying.

I don’t want machines keeping me alive.
I don’t want machines feeding me.
I don’t want to feel the suffocation of the blood pressure cuff as it squeezes my arm every hour on the hour.
I don’t want IV’s stuck in my arms, or tubes down my throat.
I don’t want other people making decisions for me.

I don’t want to be in a room that isn’t mine, with a view of medical charts and notes stating when I had my last bowel movement, when my medications are due, or how many times I have been turned and repositioned, which by the way is obnoxious when you are dying and I definitely do not want that.

I don’t want fluorescent lights on above my head, forcing me to keep my eyes closed so they don’t burn from the glare.

I don’t want people walking into my room as though it is theirs and not mine.

I don’t want strangers telling me what to do or how to feel or treating me like I don’t have feelings.

I don't want people to talk over or about me as if I can't hear. I can hear and I will hear you!

I don’t want my family to wait day after day in a stark hospital room knowing there is nothing else anyone can do but wait.
This is not how I want to die.
This is not how I want the people who love me to see me die.

I have written down everything that is important to me so that none of the above ever occurs.
I have listed where I want to be, who I want there, what music I want to hear, how I want to be cared for, what I want to wear, how I want my symptoms managed, and to what extent I want people to go to keep me alive.

When I am dying, I want my wishes honored, my voice heard, and my death peaceful.
I want this for you too!

Please write down your wishes and share them with the people you love.
Have the conversation.
Talk to your family and friends.
I promise you… it won’t happen sooner because you talked about it.

Fans of Keanu Reeves will know he doesn’t shy away from talking about loss - even in unexpected places.

In a Guardian interview he said that grief and loss are things that “don’t ever go away,” and that they stay with you like the love you have for the people you’ve lost.

👉 Read the full interview here: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/may/18/keanu-reeves-grief-loss--bill-ted-john-wick-actor-tragedy

✨ At The Omega Course we explore how conversations about loss help us live well, and support our friends and family.

From Bill & Ted’s excellent dude to assassin John Wick, the actor has carved out a stellar career. But it hasn’t come without personal tragedy

Fans of The Good Place will know: thinking about death isn’t depressing - it’s actually what helps us LIVE well.

The show uses humour and heart to explore some big questions:
What does it mean to be a good person?
What makes a meaningful life?
What would we do differently if we remembered that life is finite?

Those are exactly the kinds of conversations we have at The Omega Course - but in a warm, friendly, local setting.
🌿 Our workshops help people talk about the things we rarely say out loud.
✨ They’re gentle, welcoming, and completely free for those of all religions, or none.
👉 Join us for a chat about life, death, and what matters most.

Due to an error, self-absorbed Eleanor Shellstrop arrives at the Good Place after her death. Determined to stay, she tries to become a better person.

Great to hear we are helping people with very important things that make living easier.
