Okay…..here is your reminder.
If you have been THINKING about taking care of your affairs because of my Facebook post a month or so ago and haven’t yet…
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???
Make sure that all your accounts have your spouse (or if your single, a family member you trust) listed as a beneficiary (if it’s not a joint account already)….anything that has an option to list one, do it.
Bank accounts, college savings plans, 401k, etc.
Make a will!!! It is so incredibly uncomfortable to talk about sometimes with family (and sometimes the conversation can get heated) but you do NOT want some stranger making important decisions for you, should the unthinkable happen. Including who you would want raising your kids. (I know, it’s awful to think about)
Seriously. I want you to have the knowledge of the importance of this. I didn’t.
Things still suck. I know they will for a while. I have good moments and bad moments. The bad moments just sneak up on me and WHACK me when I’m not ready. It takes my breath away when that happens.
I know I need to reach out but when I am in the thick of it, the last thing I want to do is reach out. It’s crazy.
Just know that I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers.
I’m extremely grateful for my family and friends and I’ll keep Truckin’ (the Grateful Dead song in my head) , day by day, Moment by moment.

Thanks for the reminder, Missy. If people even think of it, they don’t want to do the paperwork. It would be so much easier to deal with now than later. Besides that, I’ve seen too many instances when someone didn’t have a will and their heirs paid a much bigger price than the cost of making that will would have been. Seeing that right now with a close family member, and it is both sad and infuriating.
I wish you the best in your process. It will not really end, but it will get easier.

Absolutely love this…. I wonder if I google “pre-made form to fill out just in case” what would come back.
I admire your strength!
