Do you have a up to date Will?

June 20, 2018Linda AndersonFAMILYNo Comments

A couple of weeks ago a very dear friend of mine died unexpectedly. He was 62. I was shocked to learn that he did not have a Will … nothing … not even a note expressing his wishes.

I get it … Wills are one of those jobs that keep being put off because they feel hard, time consuming and potentially expensive. Stop and consider for a moment … what would be the cost of not having one?

As parents of dependent children it is EXTRA important to have a Will in place. What would happen to your children if both you and your partner were killed in a car accident? I am sure you would want to be in charge of that choice …

 

I am not a lawyer so am not in a position to offer any advice on the best ways to set up a Will but as a mother I urge you to have one created or update an existing Will if needed.

 

Late last year my husband and I updated our Wills. I though we were “good” for having one but when we revisited it we realised it was 10 years old. So many things had changed during that time and I was amazed at just how much needed updating.

The conversations sparked by creating a Will can be uncomfortable. Nobody likes to think about dying unexpectedly but these conversations are essential.

 

I am curious … if you don’t have a Will … what is it that stops you from taking action on this? What could help you get past that sticking point?

I have been feeling house bound for the last 2 wee I have been feeling house bound for the last 2 weeks recovering from my foot operation but I am able to drive now.
So when a beautiful friend suggested buying me a coffee and meeting me at the beach for some fresh air and a chat it was an immediate YES from me 💗
Thanks @emilykingpens ... that was so good for my soul.

In our modern world we have neglected to support a In our modern world we have neglected to support and prepare a woman for the significant changes she will experience within herself when the mother is born. This transition from woman to mother is profound, and yet generations of women have been left to navigate this part of their journey alone.

It wasn't meant to be like this. We are supposed to gather. To share our wisdom with each other. To share our vulnerabilities. To take this journey hand in hand, to walk the path with others.

The doors to the 2021 Mama Rising Book Club have now opened and I can't wait to bring another small group of women together to explore their journey of motherhood together.

 

Thanks to Zoom we can be any where in the world together, and still gather.
We can rock our babies to sleep ... and still gather.
We can be in lockdown ... and still gather.

I am ready to gather .. are you?
It is time to gather. It is time to explore the ch It is time to gather.
It is time to explore the changes that motherhood has brought YOU, the woman.
It is time to feel supported.

Doors have opened for the 2021 Mama Rising Book Club. Link in bio.

It is time.

My 💗 is full tonight
Tomorrow I will be up bright and early (4.50am) fo Tomorrow I will be up bright and early (4.50am) for another great ocean swim with @nzoceanswim 
My island swim friends and I are catching a water taxi across to Auckland for the race.
I have been pretty quiet in the lead up to this swim because I wasnt sure I was going to be able to do it (grrr ... injury) but yesterday I decided I was still going to have a go, even if I just swim super slow and gentle.
You see, a beautiful soul I used to paddle with in Sydney was killed in an accident 2 weeks ago ... leaving behind young children and her wonderful husband. Tomorrow her funeral will be held in Sydney.
Tomorrow I choose to swim ... because I can. And I want to really feel gratitude for that fact and send love from the ocean across the ditch to all who will miss her. 💗🏊‍♀️💗
