Yes, winter is full of challenges and hurtles. Part of the challenges that arise as winter sets in is the cold. The cold is something that people fail to consider or thing about before hand. Now is the time that you should be getting winter kits for your car including blankets so that if you should break down, you will have at least some warmth until help arrives. This includes having food that you can eat (like candy bars) and a thermos with liquid. Unless you are going to put hot coffee in it every day, then any liquid will do.
Also, now is the time to locate your local urgent cares. While this may sound silly, consider that if you break down or get injured an urgent care is a good place to go if a blizzard is coming. They can open their doors and keep them open so that you can get to a safe place, even if you can’t get home or to a hospital. Urgent cares are far more frequent in location than are hospitals. But like hospitals, if you have an urgent care and don’t know where it’s at, it doesn’t matter if there’s one or not. So now is the time for you to locate those along the roads that you most travel!
Yes, it’s shocking to find out that 10 out of 10 people will die, so why is it that we has a whole, will almost always never prepare for it. Dying is something that most people don’t worry about. While they know it’s coming, it’s always a case of ‘One Day’. But here’s a question for you to think about: If you have loved ones and they’re going to be upset at your passing, why would you not want to take care of all of the arrangements ahead of time and have them in a will?
So for your consideration, here are some ideas for you that will help break the ice and hopefully the deniel over the fact that you really are going to die.
Your Casket:
While often the one thing people are both shocked and concerned about is the price of the casket, perhaps the thing that you should be concerned with is having your final wish followed and be able to rest comfortable in a casket that fits your standards. Some people want more, while others want less. If you decided to plan ahead, you will infact get what you want. Especially if you’ve taken time to fill out the will that we’ve talked about earlier. There really is no reason to not have the casket that you want for all of eternity.
So once the coffin is selected, there are several other items that you can consider. For example, are you wanting to have placards or keepsakes for those left behind. This is something that can be taken care of in advance. I’m not talking about your belongs, but rather one last gift to let them know you care about them and are thinking about them. That you are still there, but in a different form, often times this is the hardest of issues.
This placard is a good example of something that lets people know that you’re not gone, you’ve just taken on a different form. It’s one way that you can give them a hug, when you’re not physically here any longer to do that. It reminds your loved ones of how much you do in fact care about them.
Pendants are another way that you can show them that you love them. While this one says dad, there’s any number of other names and nicknames that you can put on them. What is so right about doing a pendant is the fact that you can put a picture of a special time between you and the one that you’re leaving it for. This will allow for them to be reminded of that special time as well as how much you love them.
Can you see how these things are ways that can transform your passing in the future to a celebration. All because you cared enough to have those things that you wanted before you passed. Instead of waiting until it’s late and your loved ones have to guess and worry about what you would have wanted. It’s without a doubt the most loving and caring thing for you to do!
