Here lies a poor woman who was always tired; She lived in a house where help was not hired. Her last words on earth were: “Dear friends, I am going Where washing ain’t done, nor sweeping, no sewing; But everything there is exact to my wishes; For where they don’t eat there’s no washing of dishes… Don’t mourn for me now, don’t mourn for me never – I’m going to do nothing for ever and ever. — The Tired Woman’s Epitaph
Eventually, we must all face our own death.
How comforting if those left behind after we die know our “final wishes” and the details needed to carry them out.
My Final Wishes is a fill-in-the-blank workbook for you to record your preferences for end of life and afterward.
