If you have aging or very sick loved ones

You might find it worthwhile to sit down and start composing an obituary in advance of their passing. Under the best of circumstances, it's not easy to compose a short passage summarizing the substance and meaning of a life, especially the life of someone you love. It takes a lot of remembering, contemplation, and searching for the right words to say a brief public goodbye. It's even more difficult with time limitations and an aching heart.
More importantly, the act of writing those words may help you remember some things that you have forgotten to say, to express gratitude for things long passed that you've neglected to share recently. Just something to consider.

I wrote an obit for my mother at the request of her sister, my aunt, she scrapped the whole thing and wrote her own.

I can see how those things can happen. Every person sees things differently. But I do think that it can be helpful to go through that thought process in advance, even if it's never published.

Sorry for what you are going through. Tough times regardless of when you think about what to say about your loved ones.
I gave the words of wisdom for both my grandmother and grandfather when they passed. I have no doubt, if I am still with us, I will be asked to get many more ;( I found the value of what I said after they had passed and was at peace with it.

After some doctor's appointments, I'll write an obit for myself in the shower while washing my cock and balls and such, getting cleaned up for whatever this bullshite of a day has to bring for me, and hoping I get eulegied fairly when the day inevitably comes.

I sat down with grandma and did this several months before she passed away in 2012 it was the hardest thing I ever did, her with my mom and uncle redid her will 6 months before she passed. I couldn’t be in the room for that hurt too much.

My father passed just over a year ago. My brother-in-law wrote an obituary for him. Thankfully, I was allowed to see it before it was published, and I fixed a few factual errors and was able to tweak some things.
It checked all of the boxes, but I would have done it differently had I been able to write it from scratch.
