[quote=Anonymous]I’m 34 and just lost my father, who was divorced from my mother. I have two kids, oldest is 4. I won’t complain about this because there’s no medaling in the suffering Olympics, but for people who might be looking down the road at something similar: ask your parents if they have a will and living trust and if they don’t, strongly encourage them to write one. Making end of life and burial/etc decisions is incredibly hard and if you had a clear minded discussion about them ahead of time, it is SO nice to be able to consult the written documents. Similarly, for finances — it is also nice to have a document detailing what to do with money and possessions. So it might seem awkward to talk about, but I strongly recommend getting this stuff lined up even if you have ‘younger’ aging parents (my dad was 68).[/quote]
