Worthy Conclusions

21/10/2018

Watching this weekend the topic of funeral music came up. Both Catherine Jenkins and Chris O’Dowd said they had already planned the music for their funeral and had written in to their Wills. It’s great to hear that they like so many others are forward thinking and have made plans but sadly not all Wills are read or even found BEFORE the funeral. Unless people have previously discussed their wishes with family or friends they may not get to have the funeral they would have liked.
Use a copy of ‘Your Life After Your Death’ to record your wishes, leave important information to compliment your Will and share memories with your loved ones.

Whatever your age decluttering is not just for ‘things’ How often do you ‘spring clean’ or de-clutter your ‘things’? It’s something we all do from time to time, if you’re like me it doesn’t happen too often but once you get started it actually becomes quite adictive and where I may have started out…

8th - 12th May - Death Awareness Week

Claire Henry, Chief Executive of the Dying Matters Coalition and the National Council for Palliative Care said:
“Every minute someone in England dies, but many people still feel uncomfortable talking about end of life issues. Talking about dying, death and bereavement is in everyone’s interests as it can help ensure that all of us can get the care and support we want, where we want it, at the end of our lives.

“Through being more confident in talking about dying, we can make a big difference.” ?

8th -14th May is Death Awareness Week.
Research for the Dying Matters Coalition has found that many people have specific wishes about their end of life care or what they would like to happen to them after their death, but a reluctance to discuss these issues makes it much less likely that these will be met. ?

If we have been conscientious in life about caring for our environment, how can we carry that through to after our death?

Believe it or not climate change is happening. We may or may not see drastic changes in our lifetime but our grandchildren and future generations

Do you have a Will? Yes? CONGRATULATIONS however your plans shouldnt stop at that -
Firstly make sure you tell someone you have made a Will and where to find it (your would be surprised how many people dont do this!)
Secondly don't assume people will know what to do or who to contact when it comes to tying up all the lose ends of your life, help them out - talk to them or if you cant face that conversation write it all down.

Interesting article posted by BBC which highlights the need to communicate with our loved ones.

Older people are increasingly saving their loved ones from the cost of a funeral by paying in advance - but many families are unaware because they are scared to talk about death.

And so it goes on..... Why it's so important to plan for life after you.....

Lynda Bellingham’s two sons reportedly want to challenge their stepfather over their mother's will. Michael and Robbie Peluso have hit out at their stepfather Michael Pattemore for "disrespecting their mother’s memory" in a newspaper interview. Lynda, who was an ITV Loose Women panelis…

So sad to hear that the late Lynda Bellingham's widower is reported to be 'depriving her sons of their inheritance'. No matter how much you love and trust your loved ones to do the right thing once you are gone it is so important to document your wishes properly.

If you have never had 'That' conversation about death with your loved ones it could prove extremely stressful for them trying to second guess how you would have wanted your farewell conducted when the time comes.
Be kind to them, either discuss or write down your wishes, make their life a little easier.
Remember, talking about it isn't going to make it happen!
