My father never made his wishes clear
I wish I had the conversation with my parent.
I wish I would've been more insistent on getting his final wishes either verbally or in writing.
I tried having the conversation with my father about 20 years ago. He told me that he didn’t care how we handled his remains after his death. He never made his wishes clear. My father died suddenly this past month, so my family and I did the best we could to handle his final wishes. It was difficult at best. I wish I would’ve been more insistent on getting his final wishes either verbally or in writing.
