(photo grabbed)When my husband was deployed the second time in 2008, we went to the legal office on post to do his Last Will. As we all know that going for a deployment specially in combat zone everything can happen. It is recommended to all service members to leave necessary documents to their respective families in the event that something happened to them or they become incapacitated. So, we were interviewed by the legal officer and given some forms and paper works to read. Included in the Will is the funeral planning in case something happened to my husband. At first I was kinda apprehensive in talking about it but it is necessary.
As we both read the choices of the funeral plans we looked at each other and started smiling. The legal officer was saying like yeah I know how you feel and smiled with us as well. My husband let me did the reading but when I asked him if he wants cremation or full body burial in casket, he groaned and let out a soft laugh. Going through the process of completing the Will is really emotional. It made you think of the possibilities as what the choices in the forms dictates. Others you find too morbid and brutal but it is reality. In as much as you don't like it to be discussed but it is necessary so the loved ones who are left behind will not be in the dark of what are the things to do. I am so glad we were able to finish it that day and had the Will signed and sealed.
