I FORGOT to make this list -

Until I realized that I had joined the Widow Club -

And that Linda J had notified me by email -

BEFORE she posted her tribute -

When her dear DJ died -

And I totally forgot to tell her BEFORE I posted My Guy -

I just missed it -

So do as I SAY -

Not as I DID - ;))

You know the drill by now -

Another list - ;))

And while I'm at it -

I would like to point out that -

YOU and YOUR HUSBAND already know -

All of the names and information -

On all of these lists -

And you may not need to write it all down -

BUT -

If anything were to happen to the TWO of you -

SOMEONE ELSE needs to know this stuff - ;))

YOUR family may not know all of HIS family -

YOUR friends may not know all of HIS friends or each other -

YOUR co-workers may not know HIS co-workers - etc. -

You two are probably the only ones who know ALL of these people - ;))

I had called the NEIGHBOR across the street -

On the day my husband died -

And he told the neighbor two doors down - ;))

Another day I told the neighbor who lives behind me -

And then one day I saw another neighbor walking down the street -

And asked her to come over -

Then she told another couple of neighbors -

And the word slowly spread -

And they all came over one by one -

To offer their condolences and help - ;))

So you don’t have to do it ALL by yourself -

Enlist the help of others -

And don’t be afraid to ASK for help - ;))

People generally WANT to help -

They just don’t know WHAT you want/need to be done -

So just ASK them -

They probably will be glad to do whatever it is -

But they can’t read your mind - ;))



PLEASE REMEMBER -
This is simply some of what I did -
And it may or may not be what you want or need to do -
When the time comes - ;))

HOMEWORK -

Make a list of NEIGHBORS to notify -

Include name - address - phone numbers - email addresses -
List them in the order in which you want them notified -
And the best way to notify them - phone - email - written note - or in person -

Then try to make a telephone tree -
That will work for you - ;))

I had a separate list of FRIENDS to contact -

I couldn’t contact everybody on the first day -

But I had the list in the order in which I wanted to notify them -

So the first day I contacted the first one -

And each day -

I would contact one or two more -

Working my way down the list - ;))

Remember that you can take your time here, too - -

And you can use the “telephone tree” method -

Call one person -

And have that person call or tell a couple of others for you -

You don’t have to do it ALL by yourself - ;))

And you still need to BREATHE!! - ;))
