While I was writing Papa’s obituary.. there were certain facts & moments we just couldn’t remember properly as a family.
I wished we’d discussed w him what he’d would like to go into his eulogy..
I honestly think we should normalise talking about death &what follows thereafter.

But I know death is a very taboo topic among my people. A lot of people will say you’re cursing someone or tempting fate if you “plan ahead”.
But honestly, people should get the send off they want & deserve where possible. And no one knows what they want more than themselves.

The Will (&Trust) documents should be updated as regularly as required.. along with the obituary..
We know our life stories better than the next person.. let them add what they feel they need to if need be.. but the core of it should be how the deceased wants to be remembered

Normalise talking about death & what comes after. It should not be taboo to ask / tell our next of kin what should happen in the eventuality..
Death is part of life.. we can’t bury our heads in the sand & hope it never happens to us or our loved ones...
Ke laka leo..
