Everyone is different, and my family is the direct opposite of most of your advice. My grandparents actually wanted to have this kind of talk at the holidays, because many children live out of state and that was the only time they were together. My Grampy also wouldn’t budge to talk about certain thins until he was in the hospital – it scared him to think he’d left things unfinished and up in the air.

This is a great article! So important to communicate and have these things spelled out. The baby boomer generation needs to do it better then our parents did. My father hid his money in a money belt that we never found. He never told us much and it was so hard to know the right things to do. Thankfully he died peacefully at home which was our prayer after fighting cancer. If you don’t want to talk about these things WRITE them down! Your kids will appreciate it. Thats why I help people get access to affordable legal help and wills. Thanks Eileen
