Hi Dorth!
What an interesting post. As a 34 year old woman with no children (and no plans of such) I haven’t really thought much about my own death, but rather my parents’. I think I would donate to science and then be cremated in a special place. I wouldn’t want a big pomp and circumstance, but a small ceremony/ party would be just fine…on a positive note to remember all of the good things of my life.
I haven’t written in a long time, but everything looks great!
Love you,
Rob

A great video!! You do these so well.

I have to admit that it doesn’t bother me what people do at my funeral. The family know I prefer to be cremated..but the rest is down to them, what ever makes them feel better. I will be long gone and they will be left behind with the tears. I won’t be the important one, it will be them left with the emotions and needs. So, I feel that if I am not leaving lots of instructions they can do it in a way that will help them express their grief. (Well, I’m assuming here that they’ll feel it, lol.)

Having said that, I totally understand what you were saying in the previous post and I am sure that for lots of people it will work well.

Thanks so much for enjoying my video guys, I’m hoping to do more as I love talking can you tell and I still have so much more to say.

Thus stand back as next week there will be another one to see although my partner said I’m too long winded..hope not.

Thanks June, and love you Robin as she’s my step daughter who is serving our country as border patrol in Arizona be safe sweetheart we pray for you every day.

Hugs Dorothy

Very thought provoking post. Regardless of how one feels about end of life, this gives pause for thought. Thanks for the ‘nudge’. ~Nards

I love this video and I just soooooooooo agree with you!! This is so honest and gutsy and I am going to make dang sure that there are people who can carry out my wishes. I just love you BECAUSE you encourage me to be ME full-on. You speak to my truest self, my most authentic self, my strongest self. This makes me realize that at some point I have to finish my post about my death and I KNOW people may not like it. It’s very ‘wild’ in the truest sense of the word. I may not even be able to do it but if not I will have a second choice for my funeral.

Dorothy, you are a hero to me. A woman who speaks her mind and yet is kind and loving. I cannot express enough that when you listen to your heart, speak it’s words and follow it you encourage all of us out here to do the same.

Your words, your work is not wasted. It is thrilling and REAL!! We need SO much more of that in the world. Always just be you.

It will be awhile before I do my post on this as I have the series I’m doing and then an interview with an author, but when I do my post I would like to link to your posts on this topic.

You go girl. You DO know. And you set us all free, even those who may not agree with you. We all give our most simply being ourselves.
Love,
Robin
