Mum thinks you have to sort stuff out before you die 'cause you can't after can you???

I recently lost my Father and we never talked about what needed to be done in the event of his demise. We're all coping pretty well, but the situation could have been easier if he had sat down and had a ten minute conversation with us. Definitely appropriate.

When I think of death, I actually think of finally reaching my true home...heaven! So death to me really means life! Yes, we need to talk about death. When is there ever an inappropriate time to talk about death when it could mean true death in the depths of hell for an unbelieving soul. Death is an interesting word.

We had a bit of a difficult experience a few years back when there was a death in the family and found out it left the widow in a very difficult situation financially because the insurance policy hadn't been updated since the 1950s and the money that was "enough" then didn't even make a dent in the funeral expenses. I think it is something that all families need to talk about and then revisit from time to time.<br/><br/>By the way, I gave you shout out on my blog yesterday and picked up a cute new background. Thanks! Although it isn’t fun it is something you need to do if you really love your family.

But when it turns to a maudlin or conversation of the like, of one's own demise - I have to draw the line there. That, to me, seems like it's tempting the gods.

I am a nurse and have seen families go through the process of losing a loved one and it's lots easier if they have talked about it before hand. I have made it a point to talk to my kids about it also - not talking money or that kind of thing, but to let them know that I'm not afraid of dying and that I'll see them again in heaven.

Why avoid talking about something that would eventually happen anyway? It is best that we prepare for it financially and spiritually. It’s the most practical thing to do.
