Ashamed: I think about (and plan for) dying. Do you?

My mother was diagnosed with cancer and completely ignored it, and one year later she died. She did not put any of her business in order and put me through hell with my step family. It is very considerate and caring of you to be thinking about these things and preparing. I am in my 40s and I am thinking and preparing even though statistically I have good chance of surviving my illness due to my age.

At my age (88) I do think about dying. Actually today is one year after my hip replacement surgery. But that is not an illness and I am recovering. Aside from that I am not aware of any other illness. Nevertheless my husband and I made our plans years ago and we also purchased the services of The Neptune Society for cremation. So except for following our instructions there is nothing for our children to do. My feeling is that if you do not do these things while you can and are in your right mind, you must be extremely selfish.
