What are you more afraid of ? Dementia or death?
Honestly, I had never considered answering this question prior to posing this question to you now.
My mom used to tell me that it must be easy to "lose your mind" because you don't have any idea that you have lost it! Nonnie's correct of course, yet those that have the onset of dementia may not feel the same way.
Let's explore the relationship between Death and Dementia.
Hot off the press.
Ellen Goodman, Founder of The Conversation Project, recently released a survey that had some pretty interesting information about conversations about death.
And I would like to share this data with you and then we will talk some more.
Survey says...
A good time to shop for a coffin is before you actually need one. This sounds a bit morbid doesn't it?
But let's compare this scenario to shopping for a new car or a wedding dress or a home.
Honestly, do you get the best deal when you shop last minute? Do you get what you want for a good value?
I am wondering whether or not to share this with you.
After all, the death of a loved one, planning a funeral service in the midst of grief and the task of writing obituaries are serious, sad and stressful matters.
