Uncertainty seems to be the only constant and preparing for the future seems to be an overwhelming challenge. However, organizing our affairs in life and leaving things organized will not only have benefits for our peace of mind, but also on our loved ones after our farewell.
In this article we will explore how this act can help us live a calmer life in the present and relieve some of this emotional burden.
The feeling of a life with fewer worries:
By taking time to organize and prepare our affairs, both legal and personal, we protect our loved ones from possible future complications, thus avoiding conflicts and painful decisions regarding your farewell.
By expressing your wishes clearly and concisely, those around you don't have to guess “what you would have wanted” whether it be for a funeral, cremation, ceremony and more.
Recommendations for your planning::
Organize relevant documents: gather and organize all those important documents, whether they are insurance or life insurance policies, bank details, wills, legal records, certificates, property records, etc.
Express your wishes: your special requests, the type of ceremony you would like to have performed in your honor, a farewell message, your last thoughts or whatever you want, in order to take some of the stress away from those around you during this time of mourning.
A “financial plan”: whether it's leaving a funeral service paid for or creating a monetary fund to be used for this occasion, you can plan to cover certain costs and expenses so that your family doesn't have to deal with them.
Create a record of your assets: property, automobiles, family heirlooms, whatever you wish. Those things that have a certain monetary value, but also those with an emotional value.
Organize your electronic accounts: your social media accounts, email access, paid subscriptions, etc. Organize and decide what to do with these accounts, once the day of your farewell has arrived.
Be calm in the present, prepared for the future::
These actions, allow us to live a calmer present knowing that our memories, recollections, requests and documentation will be prepared and organized for a smooth future for those around you. This is just another way to express to them how much you love them and how much you care about them.
