One reason why I decided to buy enough life insurance to be buried somewhere. One I don't want to be burnt to a crispy as there are some out there that'd rather enjoy that day, lol, but I don't want my death to be a constant reminder laying around the house for them someday in a urn. I don't think it's healthy.
My son's girlfriend is obsessed with her sisters death as an example, I can only imagine if sister was laying around the house what it would be like. I pick up their son from school and we went fishing one day. She was mad at me because she had planned to take the kids to the cemetery to celebrate her sisters birthday. She has slowed somewhat but when she first passed away it was so bad that I changed the course I took to go pick up my son from work because we'd have to pass the cemetery and it always brought up TT (her nickname) to my grandson. He was around five at the time and dwelling so much on her death because mom did just isn't a healthy thing for a five year old or even now for that matter. Death and grieving can bring quite an emotional toll on people, children shouldn't be learning to carry on those emotional tolls to such an extent. I told my son he really needed to sit down and have a discussion with her about it. Can you imagine the emotional toll through life if you were taught at an early age to celebrate everyone's death on the anniversary of their death, their birthdays and memorial day. Life could get rather depressing.
As far as possessions I haven't gotten quite as far as you but it's something I've been working on. I've also dwelled on some thought processes that often led me to make some decisions that I had made in life. I don't know if it will lead to any drastic changes or end up altering my thought processes but I guess you have to start somewhere.
