What we leave behind...


Just because your gone doesn't mean people don't think about you! The memories we share will always be there whether someone is dead or alive..

I drove over 450 miles today to find out my truth... What the last weeks were like for my previous Dom .. It wasn't pretty. And nothing I care to share...

My intention was to help his current caretaker/ ex/roommate with his belongings.. Instead she and I talked for 5 1/2 hours. Sharing so many stories, filling in many blanks... And while there was still some tears, it was not bad...

A sense of closure came over me today.. my questions answered... A wonderful sense of relief...

Of course I am still sad...

But here's the sadder part... If you don't leave a will, your affairs become a horrible mess. That goes probate court be divided.. My ex felt he would be validating his sickness if he completed the will...

I know is this! One of my next projects is doing my own will.

A will and the last directive. A DNR. Something that gives someone an idea of your final wishes if you are not able to make decisions for yourself. I'm proud of you. and I don't even know you. Well done.

Thank you so much aliljaded! It means alot coming from you. I know you have been here for a long time and the quality of your blog is a testament to that.. He did do a DNR about a week before. So at least they had that.. ( And how do you get alt not to delete words from your blogs??) Even this simple blog from yesterday is missing words..

I made a will years back when I was fairly young. Knowing you are a husband and father and heading to war more than good enough reason. I have changed and amended it as the wife became the x wife. Shuddersssssssss.
I now have a DNR in place and I have my reasons. To a select few I am sure I am worth more dead than alive. Walk your own path and enjoy life but do it with the understanding that you are never guaranteed to wake back up.

I will blow your mind like a verbal John Wilkes Booth

Wow Intelligent! How well said... The DNR is sad in some respects.. Especially if you think you are worth more dead than alive to some.. I am sorry to hear that.. And yes, my ex did not think he was going to die on Wednesday! But like you said, he did not wake back up.. Thank you for sharing your story

What you say re leaving a Will and DNR Orders is so important!

I am glad you have a sense of relief and, we NEVER forget those we love(d)

So true jenny... A will would have made things simpler. Now they are going to court, and all accounts frozen, even though his son is his only heir.. Our death can be as complicated as our life! Thanks jenny..

I'm so glad you were able to gain some insight into your Dom's final days.....it helps soothe the soul.

When my Mom died she made things so easy for myself and my siblings. After her death I immediately went to her lawyer and set up a trust and Medical POA. I already have funeral plans made and paid for as well. I don't see it as morbid rather I look at it as a gift for those left behind.

It really did soothe my soul drmgirl! How fortunate you were concerning your Mom's passing... You were able to just appreciate and love your Mom... Not get overwhelmed with details... Thank you for sharing that..

I'm glad you managed to find a sense of closer.

It's a good point about the will, I must do mine, I keep putting it off,
I guess it's something we don't really want to think about.

I did Dave! And I am like you... The last thing I want to do is think about or write my will... But after seeing what I did, I will force my self to.. Thanks for your thoughts.
