Are You Ready?

[SalixIncendium]

The death of my body/mind is inevitable. It happens to everyone.

If it happens today or in the next few hours, are you ready? What happens to your remains? Your possessions?

Have you prepared? If not, what are you waiting for?

I've already given my worldly belongings to my daughter, and my burial is paid. If this life ends in my sleep tonight, there is practically nothing my daughter would have to do. Have you prepared your family?

 

[ADigitalArtist]

Yes. Pretty much the same except I want as much of my body that can be used to be donated, either for organs or research.

Wills sorted under 2 legal systems, cremation (after harvesting the good bits) and hole in the wall for my ashes paid for. Life insurance (good laugh that one*) up to date, to pay any unexpected expenses, have a good party plus leave a few thousand for the children to play with

* Why is it not called death insurance because that's when they pay out.

 

[Viker]

It's inevitable and I'm okay with that.

I have a will. Funeral, internment, etc. is paid. I'm still contemplating having a bike buried with me, just in case I get a posthumous itch for a ride. It's the reason I don't want cremated. I've never seen a movie where cremated remains return to attack or scare the living.

I think that may make a great and unique movie

Death insurance sounds like it's a bummer. They call it life insurance so folks will buy it, I'm speculating.

Night of the Reanimated Ashes. Maybe.

I'm pretty much prepared with a will and so on.

On a slight tangent, in the last few weeks I was diagnosed with a condition that could have killed me. It now looks like recovery is likely. I'll report my thoughts. For the record, I'm in my eighties and just about everything I've enjoyed in life is now behind me, and I'm kind of bored, generally.

We never really believe, deep down, that we are going to die, do we? Yes, we know it intellectually, but really believing it? I came to terms with it in the following way. I'm pretty much atheist and don't believe any of the heaven and hell stuff, but still wonder if there might be something like survival in some kind of spirit realm. I decided there were two possibilities. The first and most likely is that I will simply stop existing as a conscious being, like going into a dreamless sleep and never waking up. I won't be aware of it, so it's nothing to fear. The second is some kind of conscious survival, and I realized that it could be a great adventure, and well worth looking forward to.

I've been ready since my heart attack in 2017.

Night of the Reanimated Ashes. Maybe.

Or simply "dust"

 

[Watchmen]

Im ready.

We're redoing our wills. But without siblings or any close relatives, once we're both gone it's somewhat DGAS time although we have charities (different ones) in mind.
