I'm baaaaaaaaaackkk...

I know I've been sort of MIA (only sort of because I HAVE been replying to other peoples' posts and have done TQ LJ stuff), but I'm going to try to be better about posting here ( Read more... )

In all seriousness, that is a very good point. I am going to point it out to my mother (both parents still alive and good health) so they can put something together NOW, rather than when the emotional is crowding out everything else.

That's some really good advice, even if it is a horribly difficult conversation.

Yay on the writing, and hugs on general principles.

It can definitely be a tough talk to start. *nods* Even so, if I'd had any clue about how much was involved, I would have gritted my teeth, accepted the fact that I would feel somewhat ghoulish, and opened the dialogue BEFORE my Dad was unable to answer. It would have saved an awful lot of time, effort and emotional breakdowns for both me and my Mum. *rueful grin*

Thanks for the GP hugs. *hee* And I'm very excited to be writing again without wondering whether I need to call social security again or the Vet's Admin or... well, a hundred and one other places. LOL

Thanks for the comment. I truly appreciate it!

Hi! *waves* I had noticed you edging back into circulation. I'm glad you are feeling better. Other people being concerned bout me gets me every time so I do understand why you didn't reply to the sympathy comments. We don't need quite so much info over here in the UK, but it would have been nice if my parents had discussed anything about dying or funerals. I forced the conversation on my mother while she was still in hospital after my father's funeral (long story). At least I'll know that I am doing what she wanted when the time comes. My dad will just have to put up with my best guess for eternity.

Glad to see you've got plenty more stories in the pipeline for me!

*nods* Yeah, talking about one's own mortality seems to be something we all put off. Possibly because it's not anything we want to think about ( ... )
