Today I went to the funeral home to pre-plan so they will have a record when I pass. I went as far as picking out my casket, making plans to add my name to my late mother's headstone where we will share a plot and signing all the paperwork for my cremation.

I'm far enough along in my recovery that I don't want to use or drink over this, but it doesn't make it any easier. Its also a reminder I need to make sure not to pick up cigarettes again as I suffer from a disease that will eventually lower my inhibitions. I know people that went from drinking socially to drinking quite a bit every day and this appointment reminded me of all the headway I've made to make sure I don't end up like some of my other acquaintances with Huntington's.

Looking back on today I think I did really well.

I think it's a really good idea to have all that stuff settled, Shock

I just hope the day we need to use our funeral plans are far off

I agree with Dee, I hope the date is very far off. ❤️

Well done. I've thought about doing the same. Usually either when I've been to others funerals and realised how much stress is created for others when those decisions haven't been made, or when my favourite hymns are sung in church and I start thinking which I'll choose for my exit gig.

So, well done from me. You actually did it. I'm still at the thinking on it stage, but I suppose it'd be a better idea to take action.

Great job on getting all that stuff organised!!

Hopefully though you won't be needing those plans for a long time to come!!

Hi Shock, good to 'see' you again. That sounds a really good plan and what you did took great courage.

None of us know what tomorrow holds, we only have the moment we are living in.

Big hugs my friend

You have a lot of strength. Big hugs

Shock, I know you will handle everything with dignity and grace.
