I am truly sorry if I offended anyone with my comments. That was not my intent.
I think honest, open discussion of this journey we all make someday is the best way to explore and be informed of all the issues and choices available to us all.
Thank you again for your kind and thoughtful words....you have given me food for thought and opened up some ideas of some things I need to remember.....
There was definitely no offense taken on my part. Thank you for your open mindedness and accepting this "Food for Thought". I have been along this road a few times already, particularly for my husband/parents and lesser so for others.
It is so good to know you are talking with your children about your wishes. And too, considering the need for financial planning. Both are so important for it to play out as planned when the time comes. All too often I have seen harmonious families fall apart during sickness and/or after a death, even with good planning.
On a happier note ... I hope you and your DH can continue in good health for a long time, and that life is good to you. Blessings to you and yours!
