<p>^^Yes, my Mom was so organized. She had everything we could ever need to know listed in a notebook in her desk. She even had her favorite hymns bookmarked and showed me the dress she wanted used for burial so that in our grief over her passing we did not have to worry about minute funeral details. It was easier on the rest of the family that when the need for this info. arose, I was able to answer quickly that Mom had told me what she wanted and I knew exactly where the dress was so there was no discussion or worry over choosing the wrong thing.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, this will not be the case with my in-laws. MIL refuses to talk about unpleasant realities. She will just say “We don’t need worry about that right now” as if not thinking about the inevitable will somehow ward it off. It is so frustrating.</p>
