Wellness

Today my parents sat me down and had a serious conversation with me. 

Apparently they bought 12 graves for our direct and future family (and dogs). That was really nice of my parents to do :) 

TIL that apparently when people buy grave sites ahead of time and die sometimes their kids don’t know about it. And their kids end up spending more money than necessary buying another site. So buy them ahead of time if you can, and tell your kids

Let’s talk about death. This cast really highlights how planning ahead can bring peace of mind. Death is inevitable, but we can make it easier for our loved ones.

1. Think Ahead: Sort out your will, power of attorney, and how you want to depart. It can really reduce stress for your family later on.

2. Talk About It: Have open conversations with your family about your wishes. It helps everyone be on the same page.

3. Pre-Plan: If you can, make arrangements ahead of time, like buying grave sites or organizing legal documents. It prevents unnecessary expenses and confusion.

4. Mental Wellness: Accepting and planning for mortality can actually boost your mental health. It reduces fear of the unknown and helps you live more fully in the present.

Embracing these aspects of end-of-life planning is part of holistic wellness. It helps to make sure your transition is smooth and respects your wishes.

There is a Chinese book called the Tibetan Book of Life and Death, which gives a detailed introduction to the content of life and death.
