The fragility of life

Monday, April 7, 2008

Today's news featured another person who "fell" onto the MRT tracks.

Life is indeed fragile. At times, accidents happen and one is called to the next world before their time on this world is up. At other times, people linger on in homes and hospices at the ripe old ages, waiting for the transition.

Even as you enjoy life to the fullest and would live a rich and fruitful life, pause, think and reflect.

What happens if the unspeakable happens?
Who will take care of our loved ones when we are not around?
What can you do to take care of your loved ones even when you have moved on?

Consider the need to leave your last instructions of the earth to your next-of-kin or your trusted relative or friend who can be your executor or trustee. If you have a child or children, you may want to appoint a substitute or joint guardian for your children.

No matter what happens, you want to be in control of how your assets would be distributed.

Consider a will, and have peace of mind.
