[quote=Anonymous]I will turn fifty-five in a few mos & have two adult sons. My best friend of 45 yrs was diagnosed with bone cancer about six mos ago and is currently undergoing both chemo + radiation treatments. She is in constant pain in spite of her strong prescription meds. It is so sad to see her quality of life right now - she lives a block over and I see her between 2-3x/day. She has zero appetite, requires adult diapers and can only shower every 1-2 wks (due to pain.) She spends her days in her medical bed in her bedroom watching TV or sleeping all day. We grew up together and always have been extremely close. To see her like this breaks my heart 💔 of course, but it is also making me think of getting my own affairs in order too. I.e., get a beneficiary named on my bank accounts, do a Swedish Death Clean, etc. Is 56 still too young to plan for my death or should I be taking steps now just in case?[/quote]
