How often do you think about your own death?

A lot recently. We just bought a house so we have to make decisions on that, Greg's BIL just passed at 55 and my nieces ex-fiance was just killed in a motorcycle accident. Also a good time to remind people to keep their beneficiaries up to date..my nieces ex had made her beneficiary to everything and hadn't changed it before he died so now she is having to deal with his parents wanting the money and trying to decide what james would have wanted.

Never, why would I? It's not something I can control. I'm far healthier than most people my age and if I die tomorrow I'm fine with that because there's a better place waiting.

Sometimes I think more about your death than my own……hee hee

Not really, other than I want to prepay and plan the arrangements so my family doesn't have to

Many are in their final years of life. I choose to enjoy it earlier in life then most I think. I do things, go places, I go be with family and friends, as It all ends soon. Complaints and nonsense not on the agenda for me.

I'm blessed with good health and I believe I could live another 20 years. God knows my expiration date and that is good with me.

Not much about dying however after handling the estates for several family members, I am trying to prepare so that my executor's task is simple.

Kittle : I wish more people thought like you, making life easier for your executor and heirs. It's not about how death affects the deceased, it's how it affects those who carry forward. Or, at least it should be.

I learned a lot when I was executrix for two family members simultaneously. Little things can quickly become issues. Properly updated documentation is a life saver. Cleaning residences and disposing of items while mourning the loss is an emotional nightmare. My nephew was a covid casualty and his darling wife didn't have any passwords. So much stress can be avoided with prior planning.

Texasdad : You're thinking about this the wrong way, it all begins soon! The bigger question are you prepared?

A lot lately. I thought I was very healthy until I got some bad test results. Now I'm testing with MD Anderson. I'm a wreck.

Ruger5 :
That made me laugh really hard.

Never. I'll have to be told I'm dead.

I am trying to prepare everyone for my end. I have outlived my dad and will probably out live my mother. We do not have long lives in my family. But I just want them to realize I am not going to be around forever. I am working on making memories with all the people I love.

BooBear : That must be very difficult for your niece. Praying for her.
