You are 100% correct though, that when someone dies it's the emotions that need wrapping up more than monetary things. My mom left us in 2005 and I am still hurting. I can't express how much a closing letter would have meant to me.<br /><br /><a href="http://ernstam.blogspot.com/2016/12/yuba-city-insurance-agency-explains-why.html" rel="nofollow">Lachelle Muse @ Ernstam</a>Lachelle Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01219621282986093704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948996795445562989.post-2433115880911100602016-04-25T11:03:00.673-04:002016-04-25T11:03:00.673-04:00We've been avoiding making a will, which is so...We've been avoiding making a will, which is so stupid of us. I'm not even really sure how to go about it all! We do have life insurance policies on all of us, so I guess we're halfway adulting. The thought of dying freaks me out. I believe similarly to you in an afterlife, but I still feel uncertain about it all. I think what I am most afraid of is that I won't get to die by my terms. I don't want to die as a victim of an act of terror. I don't want my last moments to be full of fear and confusion. Heavy stuff.

Once I got pregnant it all got really real to me and I was balls to the wall about getting a will and life insurance and what not. I did not want any lose ends God forbid something were to happen to me after the baby was born. Michael was totally on board to. Now we both know in the instance that something terrible were to happen to both of us #babybigtruck would be taken care of and in the care of someone we trust to raise her as we would have. You my friend are not crazy at all!

I have really bad anxiety about flying-- even just an hour flight is really difficult, and there have been so many times I've not wanted to go somewhere really amazing because it's a long flight, so I think it's already such a huge step that you are living and not letting fear hold you back from exploring our beautiful world. Our days are numbered no matter where we are or what we're doing.

When hubby and I planned our trip to LA a couple of years ago, we wrote a will and had it notarized in case anything happened to us while we were gone. We have two kids and we were scared to travel and leave them behind without one! It really is the smart thing to do. <br /><br />I hope you guys are enjoying your trip!Lindsay's Sweet Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454253893760011474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948996795445562989.post-81077865165918000872016-04-19T10:25:49.233-04:002016-04-19T10:25:49.233-04:00I've definitely thought of this too, and while...I've definitely thought of this too, and while I know ultimately those that are believers and pass are so much better than us here on earth. But I find myself, especially now with kids, having a harder time with it. Mainly it's the tragedy and unpreparedness part.

People talk about death & everyone closes up, but its GONNA HAPPEN - to everyone. So why not write those letters - or go over things you want to happen. I wish it were talked about more often. When someone does pass away unexpectedly, its worse NOT knowing what they wanted or wished for or thought about, I think.<br /><br />& I always have thought about such things my whole life as well. Especially being a nervous flier, when I know I have to get on a plane, it really swells up all those emotions - hang in there girl.
