Sunday Story...Memento Mori

When my father passed back in 2014, it was awe-inspiring how well he had planned for his passing. Everything was done for us, whether we wanted a memorial or not. The money went there; the stuff went there. And it was a smooth, easy process.

I see so many times when that doesn't happen. It's not an easy process. It's a time of strife. People are grieved, and they are fighting about this and that because it hasn't been done right. And that person's wishes, which are unknown at that point, aren't being followed. Had we asked them, it probably wouldn't have turned out the way it did.

I’m bringing this up now because it's something we all do. The fact is, is that we don't know when the end is coming. We know that it's coming, but we don't know precisely when, and the older we get, the closer we are to that date.

So, it's time for all of us to think about how we want our affairs handled when we're gone. If you want to leave it to whatever happens, happens, you can. That's the easy way (for you), but the other way is to plan for it because it's going to happen, just like the sun's going to come up tomorrow, this is going to happen. It's a question of when, not if.

So, plan for that, do the work, do the planning, do the thought process that it's going to take because it is a thought process. You are going to have to figure it out for them: How do you want it to look? You want music? What music do you want to play? You want AC/DC or Beethoven? What the heck do you want? Write it down, plan for it, make it happen.
