The Conundrum

Host: Åsa Nilsson

So when is the ‘best’ time to speak of death, if not now?

I have been ‘thinking’ about getting my important documentation started/ re-done for so long now that it’s quite embarrassing. I can blame it on the confusion of living in Sweden and still being a citizen of the US. But really? 

It’s time to have these uncomfortable discussions NOW and I’ll start it because I do NOT intend to leave my loved ones with a mess. 

Follow along as I decide how to tackle this death cleaning in my own home.

Let's see how often I say to myself, "Maybe I should hold on to it... just in case." Ugh.

Yeah, the time is now. For you too?
