Gentle Reminders… When the Time is Right.
We often witness friends or family members struggling to make important end of life choices just after a loved one has passed. All we can do in the moment is support them as they struggle to manage their emotions while making often-expensive decisions regarding funeral arrangements.
Though it is not the right time in the moment to make the suggestion of being better prepared for the next time, it is the right time for you to note it! You might consider jotting a reminder in your day-timer several months down the road to have a quiet chat about them getting better prepared for their own end of life.
It is the right time though, to notice whether your own end of life paper work is in order. Use this checklist to make sure you have covered all your bases, and pass it along to your friends and family members to support them in their preparations too!
