what are our extras for when we can't bring them with us when we die?

LOL! All that worldly stuff is just for the benefit of our worldly selves. Depending on how shallow somebody is, they'll acquire some of that just to impress others. \n\nNow, having said that, there's nothing wrong with a decent car, if you can afford it. Nothing wrong with a good (extended) education, if you can apply it and make a difference in someone's life. Nothing wrong with acquiring a little cash to cushion the estate, as long as you leave some for your grandkids and some for charity. \n\nI believe we will be judged by what we've done with what we've been given.

If you have a Hospice in the city you live, try calling them to ask this question. Because of the nature of Hospice, they will have copies that they should be able to give you. I haven't tried it, but you might be able to Google Hospice "living will" and come up with something. Good luck!

Good question,one i often think of too.....also where do you go and what are you doing straight after death.?...surely life cannot just be snuffed out...their has to be something else..

That would depend on state and funeral home....it varies\n\njust call where they are now and let them know that you need transportation arrangements made quickly if they have passed on and arranged if they will be passing soon.\n\nI am sorry for your loss..and what you are going through.\nPrayers and thoughts are with you.

With compassion.  Your friend probably needs you more now than ever before.  It will be difficult, as it is with anyone you know is dying, but just being a friend is the best thing you can do.

Go to a local nursing home and visit some lonely old people who have no one. I know you wont do that because it's not about you, but if you do call ahead and make arrangements.

i think there is a time limit on inactive accounts,\nput your password and data in your bible, then when you die ,\nwhoever gets that bible can access your e-mail...\nand you might just tell that person "hey, when i die, grab my bible...\nthere's $ in there"

I would spend as much time with my family and friends (in that order) as I could.  I would take a lot of day trips with my family.  Make sure my dog would be loved and cared for when I was gone.   Make sure all my death details (cremation, disposal of ashes, funeral, bills, etc) were taken care of so my family would not have to worry about it.  I would sell my car and give the money to St. Jude's Children's Hospital.  I would make sure I told everyone I love that I do love them.  I would draw a lot of pictures, do a lot of crafts and write a lot of poems for my family to remember me by.  I would make certain that my ashes were late for the funeral so I can say in the afterlife that I really was late for my own funeral (after being on time for everything else) (yes I really do intend to do that).  I would have a really big party with all of my friends and family.  When the day came, I would have my family (including the dog) around, remember the good times, and leave this life in comfortable familiar surroundings at home, surrounded by those I love most.

i don't believe that we take anything from our earthly bodies with us. our soul leaves our earthbound bodies to go where ever it goes and our clothes are left behind. the clothes lay in the ground with the decaying body. i'd like to believe that our souls become beautiful light and we won't need clothes in Heaven.

It's YOUR stuff.\nYou can do with it as your please.\nProbably good move getting your stuff while they were gone.

Backup for what? \n\nNone of this is going to happen, because there's no heaven or hell or angels, and when you're dead, you're gone.

None at all.  When you're dead, you're dead.  It's best to make the most of your life, because it's all you get.

probably not a whole lot i could do other than hope someone came home soon and that i didn't die before they got there. guess it would depend if i could move though. if i could get myself to a phone i'd call 911
