My brother had a heart attack Thanksgiving night, and passed at 2AM Friday. My wife and I had to help his wife make the decision to pull the plug - that's a tough one. They had no kids.
We had to guess at what he wanted when he died. We're going with cremation. He had no will. The VA will supply a marker, a flag and possibly someone to play Taps.
We're working with my sister-in-law to straighten out his finances. She was in the dark over basic things like car insurance, car payments, bank accounts, credit cards, etc. She'll work it all out, but it's tough on her.
I'm going to have my after death instructions tattooed on my chest - do not resuscitate, etc.
How do you complain about a priest? They asked us if we wanted one just before he died, and we said OK, then an hour later I asked where the priest was. It was too cold for him to come out. OK.....
