    I find men tend not to excavate their previous relationships. They tend to simply try to move on to the next, bringing baggage. Also, the number of men who try to line up the next woman while still w the first. Frustrating! Not something I respect.

      ​​@@JoBlackwell-MidlifeAndBeyond .. as a 72 yr old woman I thoroughly enjoyed it! I was on the edge of my chair hanging onto every word. For the past 6 yrs I have worried daily about these things. There's no $$ to bury or cremate my brother or myself and I am extremely interested in the green natural burials. I lost all trust in funeral homes and tradional burials years ago. I have a notebook I need to dig out to put all my information in to close my accts & such. My main problem is there's absolutely NO ONE to handle our after-death affairs or make sure our bodies are disposed of in a dignified way. There are no elders, spouses, children, siblings, close friends to handle all that and that scares me more than death itself. What can people like us do in this type of situation?? If my brother goes first I will take care of his affairs although it will be a financial hardship for his disposal. But he has the mind of a child now and wouldn't be able to handle anything of mine if I go first. Last week, I narrowly missed by 3 seconds becoming totally annihilated by a car speeding the wrong way on a one-way street and nearly t-boning my drivers door. I would never have survived such a horrific impact. (Thank FatherGod for protecting me) but it has left me with serious pts. I was so shaken up by how 3 mere seconds stood between me & a mutilated death and the aftermath. I look around my home, at our things, at my elderly disabled brother, my old ailing cat and it makes me sick to think of what they would have had to endure if I had been hit. As seniors with disabilities we sort of take it for granted that our bodies will just get weaker until our time comes and hopefully we'll die peacefully in our own beds .. without realizing that that is the dream when actually the reality is we could be wiped out instantly in a violent accident. I don't know where you ladies live but I'm in the USA.
