Death is not something we like talking about. It's sad, depressing and uncomfortable. We're in the trenches right now, why add discomfort to these long days? My good pal,
Brian came to MOPS today to talk to us about why that's so important. Bad things do happen. Having an uncomfortable conversation now will make things less stressful later. Brian answered all sorts of awesome questions. There was laughter and there were tears.

| Kathryn's notes |
We discussed setting up trusts and the pros and cons, figuring out who should be your children's beneficiaries, talking to your parents about their post life plans (Claire found some awesome links to help with that!
Death dinners and
It's time to talk to your parents.), covering the 3 basics: power of attorney, health care surrogate and your living will. Lots of "what if's" and "how does this play out". Ultimately, it was a good one! We have a girls night and play date this week so stay tuned! In the meantime,
make an appointment with Brian (or another estate planning friend). Lori-Ann or Karen's husbands are financial advisors that can help with the other side of it- or Brian can recommend someone else. Do it, girl!
