This came up a lot for me this weekend. People talking about death and their own last wishes.

Do you talk about this with others? Your own last wishes? Not the most pleasant conversation. Necessary perhaps?

Yes I have, my children know to bury me in my pajamas with those gray heavy sock that hunters wear slightly oversized and no underwear, and no make up.  

I don't mind talking about death one bit. Which reminds me, now I have a working printer I must re-write my will!

I don't mind normally. It did freak me out a little last fall when I was asked where in the cemetery I would like to be buried. I've got 40 more years to go....right?! LOL

I don't mind talking about this kind of thing.  It's normal, it's natural, you have to talk about it sometime.  :)

I consider it part of contingency planning, personally.

I've talked about it before but now that I'm a parent, things like life insurance, wills, etc are a necessity. you want to be sure that if something happens to you those who depend on you will be taken care of.

I talk about it all the time. Very comfortable. Saturn in 8th, aspects everything in my chart.

yes, I do. One should discuss death with loved ones and friends, in my opinion. The social stigma associated with death is so pronounced that some people refrain from actual using the words relevant to death. In an attempt to marginalize the impact replace the word death with kinder gentler words such as: passed on, passed away, in a better place, the suffering is over, the inenivatble and etc.

Welcome DanLives! Thanks for commenting.

Being that I've buried a loved one, I knew he hated talking about it, but I told him what I wanted, so it opened up the discussion of what he wanted. He was a Scorpio so I really got nothing from him verbally but he told me with his vibes. 

I have to admit that I did do all of his wishes, and people were suprised that I thought of all the little crazy details and made his funeral all about "him". It was also the talking point of the summer. (toot my own horn here)

This is such an important subject to talk about, but now I have to find some one who will fulfill my wishes after death. But the financial side? Thats already done, I have Cap trine Virgo.

Wow sunnysadge!

I have Cap trine Virgo too.

(((sunnysadge))) 

Fist Bump Neptunetrinemoon!

My Cap trine Virgo is Venus trine Mars! Do you have this too! 

But yeah, when you fulfil someones wishes, it helps you to move and carry on. Its a great act of selfless love to them and closes the chapter for you.

sunnysadge- I have Saturn in Capricorn trine my Virgo Sun. Cap Saturn can handle the serious subjects. So glad I have some joyful and funny aspects in my chart too, otherwise things could get really dreary.     

We do.

Neptunetrinemoon, *giggles*. Yeah I totally understand that. I'm a bit serious too. Especially in love! Thank goodness for my Sag.

My best friend, who died 1.5 years ago at age 70, was an undertaker. I met him when my daughter was ill. Lots of people died during those years. Children, both grand-mothers, a friend's husband etc etc etc.

I'd known him for almost 20 years when he died. Many many many conversations.

Death has aways been a part of my life. I can't say I talk about it all the time. But it is a conversation that comes naturally to me. And I think people appreciate that they can talk about death, and I converse about it like anything else that is part of life.
