I am writing this because my 93-year-old mother has been very healthy. We have been so blessed. She is upbeat and in most conversations, she brings out her harmonica and plays a tune and asks us to sing. The other day when she was going for lunch at the independent living seniors’ home, she stumbled and fell, and broke her shoulder and hip. It must have been very traumatic for her. My mother has Alzheimer’s and dementia so she wasn’t sure why she ended up in the hospital. It was upsetting for her and us. The doctors said she had a 10 percent chance of survival without surgery so, of course, we gave permission for that. She has been doing great and I was able to have three conversations with her after surgery where she was pretty positive. The doctors and nurses were really impressed with her progress. Then a week after surgery she got pneumonia and now we are just waiting to see if she can survive that.
I’m asking you, have you got everything in order. Two of my sisters are executors and power of attorney and my sisters have made sure everything is in order. My sisters took turns, one week one was responsible for mom, the next week the other one was responsible for mom well being. The two sisters sent emails out to us siblings and kept us informed of any major decisions. I am so grateful for my older sister who has made sure we are all included at all times. I know it has not been easy at times and I gratefully appreciate all the extra effort she has made.
I will let you know my mom’s progress next podcast. In the meantime make sure you have your house in order. What actions do you need to take? Have you a will. Have you a living will? Who is your power of attorney(‘s) Executor or Executrix? Do you want to have several people share in this duty? Have you been to see a lawyer? You could save monies by joining Legal Sheild. I pay a fee of $27.00 a month and It has paid for itself in the three years I have had that program. It brings me peace of mind. Be specific in the will. If you want a particular item to go to an individual make sure you specifically say so to avoid confusion and agreements later. Make sure your power of attorney and executor know where your investment papers and bank accounts etc are. If you have a safety deposit, Make sure people know where the key is etc.
There is only one guarantee in life and that is you are not getting out alive. Make it easier on yourself and others and bring peace of mind, get your house in order.
Go for it! I want on my gravestone she burned out instead of rusted out! What do you want them to say about you?
Ask yourself are your actions and speaking in alignment with what you are committed to? Look at what are the habitual patterns that have that commitment thwarted? Are you willing to take responsibility for when it doesn’t go the way you want or the way you expected and clean up your part? Are you willing to let go of Expectations of yourself and others? What are you not being truthful about to yourself and others?
Our thoughts can be like a junk drawer-we need to take inventory and get rid of what is not useful! (wendy b)
