My parents (75) handed me and my sister their will today. I am heartbroken. The reality of looking at this thing after a couple of beers is too much. I put the papers back into the envelope, and sealed it, knowing that the next time I open it what the circumstance will be. I had to muddle the papers up, so mums or dads was not first in the envelope. I can't bear the thought. I am so sad right now. I just had to share with someone. Thanks.

- If anything, they might have gotten to this in their 50s or 60s and you should consider your own living will now too. My sister died at 40. You never know.shellie

- my sisters, cause they didn't love nor trust me.
If you have family that you love, make sure they know it. Be honest about everything and embrace every momentmugwart - Sad as it is, be grateful that you have that emotion as it means love was there.mugwart
