Getting your affairs in order?

  • Hi
    3 years ago at the age of 37, I was diagnosed with Cancer. Thinking the worst was going to happen, I got everything in order. Left folders,files etc everywhere for my hubby so he would know where everything was, all the household bills were all put in alphabetical order. I made memory boxes for the children, i wrote a diary of what i wanted at my funeral, songs, flowers, hymmns etc, it was sad but also made me realise just how much i did etc and that if i was ever just to go, no one would have a clue...Now I am better (thankfully) it is still all there in files/folders, and i do feel better knowing that it is in order if anything happens to me.
    Make the most of your days, enjoy your life.

    Glad you had a happy ending but I'm sure your sorting is a job well done - must be a nightmare when you are confronted with all the paperwork and can't make head nor tail of it.
