Point Of Know Return*

* Content Warning: Death
How long? How long, until the point of no return?
Today has been...a rather surreal day for me today. It's also a rather significant turning point as well for me personally.
Because today... today, I purchased my own grave.
...
Now before anyone gets over-concerned for my well-being, I am still alive and well (either fortunately or otherwise, depending on who I'm still friendly with here on FA.)
But, yeah, what with my family history and all sorts of other things, I can't be buried in my backyard either. (Its rather frowned upon in MA and there would be more than a few questions/raised eyebrows if my remains were to be found at home in general anyway. :P)
Having said that - I have, quite personally, looked death in the eye at least twice. Once due to my own stupidity, and when I was much younger...that story is a bit more private.
I do hope that I at least live long enough to see Mango Mussolini forcibly removed from office (preferably in handcuffs) and still be here on FA to view all the furry pron, keep in touch (more or less) with the ones I am friends with, and share all of my recipes here.
So yeah...there's that.

Lots, no, insufficient word, FAR TOO MANY people ignore death/dying, and getting their own affairs in proper order. A simple 'Will' hardly suffices, esp. if you also happen to own land, stock, jewelry/et al that has to be dolled-out (And paid for, AGAIN, by govt. double-taxation)...
Losing my wife taught me the error of MY way(s). 'I' had Life Insurance due to the job I had at the time, but we knew she'd never qualify for it (At least, at a rate we could sanely afford). When she died, I was caught as flat-footed as anyone could be, already on the ropes, financially/mentally/physically, and if it hadn't been for the loving help from friends/family, I shudder to think what would've happened to her corpse under the tender, competent management of the 'State.'
It's WISE to prepare for such things. It relieves those you know, who love you, the burden of dealing with that on top of our death.
Well done.

And when I die, and when I’m gone,
There’ll be one child born in our world to carry on,
To carry on…
Preparing for death is a hard thing to not only do, but process.
After my parents passed, and the headache and heartache, I knew I would have my ducks in a row for my passing.
