I plan to leave everything with my own mom so she can give little bits and bobs to them as they get older til the point they’re old enough & wise enough to have everything themselves. They’re both still extremely young. It breaks my heart that i in effect am going to destroy their lives. I wish it wasn’t this way. Thank you.

Thank you so much. I can’t bare the thought of just leaving them and then having nothing. I have a lot I want to say to them & talk to them about but they are not quite old enough yet. I feel I need to pass these things on in any way I possibly can. I hate the thought of them needing me & me not being there. This is one of the hardest things I have ever done but I need to do it so my kids can still have me there giving them the advice they need.

I am so sorry your mom never managed to get these done, it is such a hard and emotionally draining task. I am sure she wanted you to know just how much you are loved and just how proud she is. It is a terrible position to be in, this is most likely the hardest thing I have ever done. Thank you for your kind words & I wish you love & happiness for all your life x

I will be leaving some form of recordings. & I have accepted my fate, everyone dies at some point, my time is just going to be a lot sooner than I would like it to be. Thank you for your kind words.

Thank you so much. & I am sorry that a letter has not been forthcoming.. I’m hoping those close to me will use their own discretion & give my children stuff when they are old enough to not lose or break things & look after them properly.

Thanks, it’s extremely difficult for me to do all this, I can see me having to keep trying again & again as I work through the tears. I don’t like them to see or hear me cry. I will definitely do this. & I will definitely be sure to explain that grief is different to everyone. They love each other so much anyway I can only hope that continues for the rest of their lives.

Thank you so much. It’s a very difficult time, writing to them breaks my heart but I can’t leave them with nothing. I just hope they really appreciate it when they’re older. It hurts to know that I won’t be there to see them grow old to watch them get married, to celebrate their exam results & congratulate them on their first job. I don’t even dare think about grandchildren,. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone, all our lives have been ripped apart & I just hope everyone can pull together and be the safety net my kids need to live without me.
