Prepare

It breaks my heart when I see an old man or woman come in, informing the bank of the demise of their other half. I can't believe the number of spouses not prepared for the inevitable. Some have gotten so dependent on their spouses that they do not even know where to begin. They have gotten so relaxed, specially when the other spouse is the one handling the finances that they forget the basics called preparation. I know a funeral checklist is something most people don't want to face. It's something we don't really think of, but we must. Losing someone is hard enough, let's not make it harder by not being prepared.
