 GETTING ORGANIZED AFTER THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE
My first husband passed away more than 15 years ago at the young age of 40 following a battle with cancer. Although no one likes to think about losing a loved one, unfortunately, it is a reality. Fortunately, my husband were able to prepare for that day by getting the pertinent information together that was needed in order to handle his estate.
I recently learned of a website www.about.com that I would like to share with you. I found it to be an extremely helpful site with a set of downloadable PDF files that you can print out to aid in organizing all of the events after a loved one has passed away.
The Death, Dying, and Bereavement Guides include six forms to help plan the events after a death: compare funeral/burial/cremation options, information for writing a eulogy, data needed for an obituary and death notices, and flowers and donations thank you note wording suggestions.
Although it might sometimes be unexpected, I think it is a good idea to fill out the forms that can be filled out while you're still alive and put them in a safety deposit box or other fireproof location in a folder called "In the Event of My Death". (Please note that safety deposit boxes are sealed upon death until such time as an audit can be done so a fireproof box might be a better option.)
I don't think it is too zealous to plan ahead for something such as this. If I can spare my loved ones some work following my death, during their bereavement, that will perhaps help them get through the process much easier.
Do yourself and those you love a favor and prepare ahead of time. The site I mentioned above is an easy way to get it all organized.
On a brighter note, I hope you have a great week.
