Life doesn't always go as planned. We just lost a loved one and it was beyond devastating. My brain just stopped working and I was lucky that I knew what day it was. Everything was a blur.
But during the very hectic days where arrangements were being made the one thing that we didn't need to worry about was "where did we put things?".
A few years back I had put together a list of everything. Where the wills were kept, who the lawyers were, where all of the banking was done, where the investments were, names of all of the doctors and any and all pertinent information that someone might need to find.
When you are in an emotional state - the last thing you want to do is to scrounge through your house and frantically look for things.
By being organized and just putting together some lists we had everything at our fingertips.
It's not easy to think about the eventual future that we will all have to face. But by being proactive and thinking ahead - it helped take a lot of the stress out of the mix.
