ARE YOU PREPARED?

This may sound morbid to some, but hopefully, it sounds like good planning to more!  Have you made your funeral arrangements or would you rather not think about "those kinds of things" right now?  Better yet, would you rather just leave it to others, since you'll already be dead?  There is a Jewish proverb: "We know we will die, but we keep hoping that we will be an exception to the rule."  By making your funeral wishes known to your family members, you will be eliminating a  great deal of stress for them.  All you need to say or write down is, "This is what I want, and this is what I will leave to others to decide."  Then, be sure to let these people know your preferences.

About Me

Dallas, TX, United States
I am an educator and consultant, in the field of loss and grief. I love educating others, as well as learning from them, about life's little and big, happy and sad losses: marriage, divorce, moving away, losing one's health, aging gracefully.....or not......death of a loved one, a pet, a dream, children growing up and parents having to let go, etc. etc. Hopefully, you get the picture. Let's laugh, cry and learn together!
