I talk to very few people anymore because I don’t have Steve as that one constant person I would talk to.

You know… those mundane conversations that we think we are having, but in the end they could be so important.

Here’s why….

I think maybe in my past blogs, I might have said that I actually prepared my own obituary. I gave it paid for… I have it written down for the newspaper… I have songs that I would like to be played.

There is nothing worse than going to the funeral home, less than 24 … maybe 48 hours after your husband has died, and trying to make these decisions. The emotions are really high. The questions and your answers when you are still trying to hold it together…

What do you want? Prayer card… night visitation… hymns… chaplain… music… songs… picture for the service and newspaper… and the list goes on!

And as rough and tough n as it may be, it’s one less part of the equation that our kids will have to worry about. Because, now that Steve is gone… 4 years now… how did that happen? It will be up to them, and I just want to make it a no brainer for them. They’re going to be busy enough dealing with the contents of my estate.

Sad, I have to think of this but I’ve lost my love and I , as a mom, want to make it a smoother transition for our kids.

So, remember what you really want to and pray that you can remember who you told your wishes to!✌️❤️
