Preparation for Death
So much about death is intriguing to think about, but can also be a little nerve-wracking. For the past several months, I have been contemplating on creating a living will. I have yet to start the first sentence. I still cannot decide on whether or not I would rather be buried or cremated. All I know is I want to be remembered years to come. I know it may seem silly, but I want what I do on this Earth to make a difference in the world, for others, and in a positive way.
Having a medical durable power of attorney, a legal document that appoints a healthcare agent to carry out your end-of-life wishes, is probably a good thing to have. Maybe I should start there. I don't think it's important for me right now to choose how I want to be made obsolete, but rather what I would like to happen if I am ill enough to not speak for myself. At this moment, I would choose my husband. I put absolute trust in him knowing what I would want. He is very much like me, and is one of the most level-headed people Ive ever met that understands death more than most.
