This part of the manuscript addresses the importance of including a loved one in the decisions of where to be laid to rest and how their estate should be handled once they pass. This is a difficult but necessary thing to do. When something is said out loud then it because a reality therefore I can understand how hard it was for the mother to have to talk about this topic. I think it is very important to carry out ones wishes out of respect for that person. I agree with the manuscript that preplanning a person’s death is important because that person has a say in what they want done and the family doesn’t have to do anything but grieve once the person passes. My family did this before my grandma died. She has a funeral in Orlando and in Cleveland where she had spent most of her life. My grandma is laid to rest next to her son who had passed away a few years before hand. In the same cemetery, my great grandparents are buried. It was extremely important for my grandmother to go back home to rest. My grandmother picked out specific things she wanted each of her grandchildren to have and the rest of her estate to be liquidized. My other grandparents have already had these discussions with family member’s and have a will in place to make sure their wishes are carried out.
