Tough Topics

I’m getting married this upcoming spring and there is so much ground to cover outside of planning a wedding. We now have to have discussions and conversations about real life – children, money, sex, religion and death.

Death is the big one. No one wants to talk about it but you really have to. What if someone is terribly injured? Do you put them on life support? Do they want comfort care? It’s scary but no one is immune to misfortune and hard times. It’s best to talk about it now – then to be completely off-guard later down the line.

Life is the most delicate thing we possess. It can be splendid and grand one moment and tragic and unfortunate the next. I noticed that in all my searches of discussion topics, there where almost none that brought up an important issue such as this.  Life insurance was basically it; but sometimes life and death hang in a grey area and tough decisions are required. It’s best to make those decisions now, while in good health, than to put an added burden onto your spouse in an already wrenching situation.
