                                            Losing a parent changes you in ways you can’t fully prepare for. Looking back, there are a few things I wish I had known sooner — lessons that might help someone else facing the same path.
❤️ Talk about their wishes. 
As hard as it is, conversations about end-of-life plans bring peace later. Knowing what they wanted removes so much uncertainty and gives you a chance to personalize their service.
❤️ Ask all the questions.
Family stories, recipes, advice — one day you’ll crave their words. Ask now, record it, and treasure it.
❤️Plan ahead, even when it feels uncomfortable. Sitting down with the funeral director and getting a plan on paper so when the time comes, you’ll be so grateful you did. It gives you space to focus on love, not logistics.
❤️Financial protection. 
Pre-paying and protecting against inflation with today’s prices can save your family from unexpected costs in the future.
❤️Peace of Mind. 
You know everything will be handled the way you/your parents want
