After I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, I started to take dying pretty serious. One thing I didn't want to do is leave everything up to my daughters to figure out what I wanted. I did a will a long time ago, but, recently did a living will, power of attorney, prepaid burial expenses, bought the lot, directed cremation with no concern about how fancy the container was. In fact, during the process I found a internment container that was painted and designed like a can of coffee. It had big bold lettering that said "CHOCK FULL OF NUTS". I thought it was perfect, but, my girls talked me out of it. Leave um laughing I always say. Anyway, it was a relief to have it all done, paid for and not a concern. They both thanked me as well. Love means never having to say...Sorry for those final expenses girls. I'm afraid I already spent all my money. Good luck!Preparing a Will was one of the most difficult things I’ve done, emotionally. It creeped me out beyond words. I have to plan for the logistics of what would happen if I die, but wow, it put me in a weird mood during the entire process.
I remember when my parents purchased their plots and caskets, my mom sent me a text with photos asked for my opinion on the ones the two she was deciding between. I yelled at her for even asking such a crazy thing!
PS. Fortunately the prostate cancer, although not gone away, is not progressing beyond the speed of snail, so the consensus of opinion in medical circles is that I will probably die of grouchy long before the cancer has a chance.
