Are you prepared for your wife's funeral? Will your wife endure your death?

For those who still have a partner and love each other...

Have you realized that you'll have to attend their funeral?

Here in Latin America, it's commonly called a funeral Even if euthanasia were to be performed on me and my partner, I doubt we'd die at exactly the same time! So having to watch the other person die will be an option...

I’m not even a little bit prepared for that.

Having just witnessed someone lose a partner unexpectedly (although I assume they're meaningfully older than you), they'd recommend doing at least some prep. They've already begun arrangements, mostly financial, for their own death.

I'm not sure if it's a feature or a bug, or just a quirk of how my in-laws had stuff arranged, but there's a lot of tedium to be done immediately following someone's death and it tends to be very expensive. Simultaneously, you must learn to live with their permanent absence and your feelings about it.

My wife has made some preparations for losing me. I find it too distressing to confront and am choosing to be blindsided if I have to go through it.

Thanks for your response! I agree that when the loss is unexpected, it's even more difficult... From a financial standpoint, I'm first teaching my partner how to burrow (it's quite difficult)... and then I'll teach him how to properly and securely store data! If something happens to me, he'll know how to recover my Bitcoin for the future of the family.

A friend said that you are never prepared...

We are prepared from a legal and financial standpoint but neither of us is emotionally prepared for that and the fall out after as the kids have to grow up without one parent.

I would rather it is me. I know my wife would find a way to make things ok for the kids without me. I don’t know how I could make things ok for them without their mom. She really is the glue of the family.

I share your opinion. I wouldn't know how to explain to my children that their mom isn't here! It would be a void I'd never be able to fill in them.

We just lost my wife’s father and it has been very hard for her. I told her it’s fucked up but I was glad it was her who lost a parent first I don’t think I could handle it. I want to work to be the person who can handle the affairs but honestly I’m hoping I die first I could t deal without my wife

I'm over 30 now... And my parents are still with me... I think my dad's death would be a shot to my heart!! However, I try not to think about it too much...

If your spouse is really going to die, it may be appropriate to say goodbye to her. Maybe sometimes you didn't treat her well, maybe everything was perfect. It would be nice to talk about these things and comfort her.

Don't Die.
