As morbid as this sounds, every now and then I wonder what will people say about me when I'm gone, what kind of flowers will my husband have there, what clothes will he decide to bury me in and what will he write in my obit.
Has anyone else wondered about this? After I started thinking about it I think I am going to write my own obit, pick out my tombstone because I don't want something tacky, write a list of acceptable flowers, etc.
Wow, this evening's getting better and better by the minute!
Well, if I still live in this house it'll take quite a while for the neighbors to smell it. I suppose people from work will help out to preserve the neighborhood's health and wellness after I'm gone for a few days without calling.
I guess I have this overwhelming feeling that if I die before my husband he will do some stupid stuff, God bless him. Like have a velveeta cheese and rotel dip at the wake...you know, guy stuff.
I need to write down my wishes...No white trash food.
I think about death all the time. I think it's because my birth mom passed away when I was 5 months old. I grew up with an abandonment issues, so in my teen's through 20's if anyone was more than 10 minutes late anywhere I would completely freak out about it because I just knew something happened. I've calmed down now, but even now I don't fear it, my fear is geared towards the way I die.

Grim, really? I am laughing while I think about it...well, laughing because undoubtedly my husband will find the ugliest outfit I have and shove me in it...
Sorry. I am chuckling about it! I read The Sweet Potato Queens book and they had obituaries and they were hysterical! So, I want to eliminate the possibility for posthumous embarrassment

No carnations.
No pictures in obit of me at 21.
No etched photo of me on the tombstone.
Just thinking...
Man, who woulda thunk Martha Stewarts care to remain such even after they're gone?! Can't help ya here. I truly don't care. I'm sure the public health department will take care of me whether I leave them money to do so or not. Gotta protect the public health, ya know... Of course, your situation is very different. You have to preserve Polly's legacy for your children.

Well I guess it isn't so grim if you are laughing about it.
I have a friend who has hers completely planned out. Me, I don't care much. It's up to my family though I've given them some ideas.
