PEACE OF MIND FOR YOU

 PEACE OF MIND FOR YOU

Here's an uncomfortable question:

 What do you think your lifespan will be? 

In absolute terms, perhaps a few more decades?  A few more years?  A few more months?

In relative terms, do you think you'll live longer than your spouse?  Long enough to see your grandchildren graduate?  Long enough to take your dream vacation?

We don't like to think about it...
...because we can't control it.

The idea of not having control over death is terrifying to many people, so they choose not to think about it.  Thinking about death means looking at one's own life so far for context, and a lot of people don't want to do that, either.

Looking to the past, they may feel  loss  because of things that happened, and they may feel  regret   over things that didn't.

Looking forward, they may feel  apprehension  over the unknown outcome of their estate's eventual resolution, or they may feel  anxiety  about their surviving family's future welfare.

This entire topic can elicit a number of very uncomfortable feelings.  Some of them are more painful than others. However, refusing to acknowledge and act on this matter will result in the burden of an even worse feeling later on.

Specifically, the guilt of knowing you could have done more to prepare your affairs in advance than you actually did.

You owe it to yourself to give yourself the gift of peace of mind.

Knowing that you made all of the hard decisions ahead of time -- whether for the benefit of surviving loved ones or an estate executor --  lifts a weight of dread from your chest.  There may not be many elements tangent to our own death that we can control, but proactive logistics planning is one of them.

When the end of your life finally arrives -- whenever that may be -- you can rest assured that you proactively made as many preparations as possible, taking that responsibility off of someone else's shoulders.

That leaves you with something far more valuable -- time to reflect on positive memories, and even time to make some new ones.
