Editor: Are you ready for the last stage of your life? In recent years, the word "final life" has been popular in Japan, which is "preparation activities carried out to welcome the end of life." One of the important things is "Ending Note", which first prepares your own affairs, and decides more vigorously and autonomously how to say goodbye, which can also reduce the burden on your family.
Why do we need to make "final life notes"? The main reason is to clearly inform others about how to deal with their own life and past events in all aspects. In this way, when you pass away or suddenly encounter an accident, your family will not be inappropriate.
In addition to practical considerations, this is actually an opportunity to look back at the past, contact friends you haven't seen for a long time, or challenge new trials you have never done in the past. By organizing yourself and grasping the present, you can look forward to the future more vigorously.
Leave a record in advance to reduce the burden on the family members. If you want to explain what to write in the final record with a simple concept, there are actually only two key points:
1. Reduce the necessary information for family members' inaccurate and troubles2. I hope to communicate information and personal records to the family members
and start with the simpler and easier to complete part. If you have no immediate confirmation of content or have not discussed it, it doesn’t matter if you just put it in vain. Even if you have written content, you can modify it at any time to feel like writing a diary or forgetting it, and just prepare it easily.
Currently there are many books and materials that can be referenced on the market, and of course you can also make adjustments according to your needs. Overall, it can be mainly divided into the following four aspects:
1. Personal basic information, various types of certificates and contract data1. Personal certificates, account information (can be attached as a copy as a backup, original document and storage location)
2. Information and contact methods of important family members
3. What insurances are you included? Have the fees been paid?
4. Contract or billing information for fixed fees such as water, electricity, gas, mobile phone numbers, etc.
5. Other members or services purchased with regular payments (such as ordering newspaper magazines, gym or club members or digital videos, etc.)
6. Whether there are pets, daily habits of nourishing, and how to deal with them after death, if you do not live with your family, although it is the most basic personal information, the family may not be clear about it. Listing it in detail in advance will help the family to avoid any missed when they are in the relevant settlement and client procedures.
After one's death, pets must also be properly secured. The ideal situation is to make a reservation for care by family members or friends whom they wish to take over, but if you are in fact in trouble, you can send it to relevant facilities or commissioned delivery, which can also reduce the family's difficulties.
, and a detailed list of family members' contact methods is not necessarily clear. In addition to avoiding the fact that it is not necessarily clear, you can also write down which family members you hope to notify after you pass away.
2. How to deal with the afterlife (burial)1. The form of the funeral, what kind of religious ritual is used, and how to proceed
2. I hope to invite people to attend their own funeral
3. I hope to accompany me to enter the coffin together
4. Is there any photo to use and the place to store
5. I hope to be buried cemetery, whether there are already people who can discuss with the family how their funeral
when I was alive, or maybe it belongs to a small number. In this way, after the death, the family may take their own measures or follow the advice of the gifted practitioner, but it may not necessarily meet the expectations of the deceased, or the scale is too large and causes waste. Therefore, the more detailed the intentions related to the funeral, the better the recording.
List who you hope to attend the funeral ceremony and attach contact methods, which can prevent your family from not necessarily knowing which friends they have, and it is more convenient to connect. If you have enough money, you might as well contact us to confirm whether the contact method has changed when recording, and you can also take advantage of this opportunity to care about friends who have not been in contact for a long time.
Preparing photos in advance is a seemingly detailed but actually important circle. Many people have not prepared photos after their death, so their families have to find suitable photos at any time. In the end, they may choose a photo with poor expression or painting. In the last photo of their life, it is best to be able to choose beautiful photos that they are satisfied with first.
3. Property list and inheritance1. Which banks have opened their own funds, which stocks, funds and other financial products are invested in
2. The list of real estate under the name
3. The list of credit cards used
4. Whether there is a loan deal with others, and related documents
5. Whether there is a reservation or where to keep it
When recording property list, remember not to write out all your account and password, so as to avoid the risk of security when you accidentally lose or fall into the hands of others. You only need to record "where to store property". Many people have the habit of recording various passwords on paper or on computers, so they must tell their family where this document is.
If you find that you have an account or credit card that you haven't used for a long time, you can also take advantage of this opportunity to resolve the contract or settle the bill and save the trouble in the process. Don’t forget these easily overlooked items recently, if you don’t have a digital account that has actually been stored, or if you only invest in the Internet.
Also note that the ending notes cannot be considered unrestrained. For the distribution of property, formal relics must be established in accordance with the law to have legal effect.
4. Medical care and remedy intention1. Whether you are allergic to specific foods
2. Whether you have chronic diseases controlled by taking medicine for a long time, hospitals and doctors who are often contacted
3. List of regular medicines
4. If you suffer from a serious life-threatening disease, do you want to be told the name of the disease?
5. In critical situations, what treatment methods can be implemented that can extend life
6. Are you willing to donate organs after passing away
7. If care is required, it is very important to be able to understand the medical-related intentions in advance when a long-term care organization or to take home care in a sudden accident and cannot express it clearly. Especially major decisions such as prolonged life treatment and organ donation. If you can decide first and inform your family, you can avoid the dilemma of being unable to make decisions or having different opinions when faced with each other.
Considering that there may be situations in the future that require long-term care, you may also go to the facility to inspect it yourself and choose an organization that you trust and have quality.
, it may not take one or two days to complete all of the above items. You don’t need to rush to complete it immediately. You can start from a certain place and think carefully before moving. After completion, don't forget to tell your family what they record in order to realize the effectiveness of the final record.
If death is a must-see path for everyone to live in life. Make preparations in all aspects as early as possible. In addition to showing the life attitude that is responsible for oneself, it is also a physical sticker for the family.
