A Simple Question…
If you were to die suddenly, what kind of mess would you leave your family? Harsh? You bet. A fair question? Absolutely. When confronted with this query, most folks declare they don’t plan to leave anytime soon. There’s plenty of time to prepare for that, right? Denial of your mortality is expected. Others are more practical and might say, “I really should do something about telling my survivors how to wrap up my affairs. Tomorrow, for certain. Or maybe this weekend when I have more time. I do need to get started on this.” Procrastination is a natural response. Not only is accepting that you will certainly die at some point difficult, but for many people, documenting a 21st-century life can be a daunting challenge.
Who Needs This Guide?
Congratulations are in order if you are one of the organized planning types and have this task under control. You probably don’t need this guide if you have reasonably documented your “mess” and shared it with your family. For the rest of you, the And When I’m Gone guide to unwinding a 21st-century life is for your survivors—spouses, partners, children, friends, or anyone else who needs to wrap up your affairs. It’s a tool and a map to getting organized and starting down the path to reduce the chaos when your final curtain call comes.
