[QUOTE="DDD, post: 236965, member: 35"] It's such a tricky subject and it gets trickier as you get older. Nobody wants to think or talk about death and surrounding issues. Although my husband and I have done wills and directives etc. he absolutely refuses to talk about how he wants his death handled. We are not active members of one church so there are lots of choices. He also does not want me to discuss what I prefer to happen when my time is up. Bummer! A strange thing to plan is the obit. Because our marriage is a 2nd for each of us there are unknowns that sometimes are included. Of course we know siblings and life since we got together but previous career info and community service/memberships etc. are not clear. I've never lost a spouse but I have been Executor for both parents and a sister. It's stressful and nobody needs to have unnecessary worries in the midst of grief. I think my husband will just pass it off to the kids if I go lst. I'm leaving everything prepared to save "whoever" gets the job. DDD [/QUOTE]
