WHAT A MEANINGFUL DIFFERENCE YOU COULD MAKE.

Life is as much a reality as death, but most of us just don't want to go there at all. We keep on avoiding the subject and just get on with living - very understandable.

But what happens when one day the inevitable hits you, possibly when least expected? What have you done to ensure that the person left behind to deal with everything will be able to grieve in peace and not be stressed out from being in ignorance of all that you managed? How about the reverse picture?  Would you want to have this added anguish at such a difficult time when, with some forward thinking actions, this could have been avoided?

We all deal with an abundance of minutia. So much is taken for granted, that it simply doesn't occur to us to realise how difficult it will be if suddenly someone else has to deal with everything, and I do mean "everything."  Just sit down for a few minutes and really think about all you deal with - perhaps create a list and then give serious thought to how knowledgeable that person closest to you really is,  and ask yourself what do you need to show them, explain, demonstrate, perhaps teach,  that will make a monumental difference if they have to deal with everything.   Take a look at the other side of the coin re how savvy you are about things.

Whether you are still working, have retired or are in the much later stages of life, for many there are mindful conversations and actions you can still take that will make a very meaningful difference to those you love and this includes yourself.

Until you are hit with everything, you have no idea how much bureaucracy you will need to deal with at a time when all you want to do is sit with your grief.
