17. Losing a Loved One

Welcome to Vitamae. The topic for today is "Losing a Loved One".

It is my story of my father's passing on April 6, 2021.

Takeaways:

• Understanding estate planning such as wills and trusts.
• Knowing to ask for help and that it takes time to grieve.
• Collect important files and information like life insurance, pensions, and financial details for the widow or remaining beneficiaries.
• It will take time to address any properties, services that need to be canceled and arrange the funeral home after your loved one passes.
• Do not allow others to make decisions for you on behalf of your family's wishes. 
• Be patient and be kind to yourself.
