[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have I got a guy for her! Same attitude and reluctance to make a plan. One moment of breakthrough with him was explaining that the reason he needs a plan is that if/when something happens to him, we want everything to be the way he wants it to. If we don't know what that is, we wont be able to set him up the way he wants. [/quote] Exactly. "Mom, I know you don't want to decide anything because you don't want to think about it, but not deciding IS deciding: You're deciding that when the time comes, you are going to take whatever's available to you, and if you are too sick to make decisions then, I make them for you. If that's not what you want, you need to plan. Bob & I have a file of all our financial records and our wills and living wills, and we've told people where to find them. We want to be the ones who make those decisions, and I'm pretty sure I got my independent streak from you. Unless that skips a generation."[/quote]
