It is far too often that the first meeting we have with a family is after an unexpected tragedy. As we all know, life can change quickly. It can go from good to incredible or mediocre to horrible in seconds, and no one holds the crystal ball.
To make this all too vivid, here are 15 six-word captions that will take your breath away:
“The smallest coffins are the heaviest.”
“Brought roses home. Keys didn’t fit.”
“One bullet is a lifetime supply.”
“Mom taught me how to shave.”
“Introduced myself to mother again today.”
“I just saw my reflection blink.”
“An only son, a folded flag.”
“Passengers, this isn’t your captain speaking.”
“Just Married!” Read the shattered window.”
“Jumped. Then I changed my mind.”
“He hit send, then a tree.”
“Ever seen chalk outlines that small?”
“Dad left; a flag came back.”
“What’s your return policy on rings?”
“It’s our fiftieth, table for one.”
We understand that life is busy and taking the time to get your plans in place can seem like a burden. There is always tomorrow, right? Too often we are faced with situations where there was no tomorrow, and where families have been left in unnecessary uncertainty. It is truly heartbreaking.
We seriously encourage everyone whether you’re a friend, family member, prospect, client or someone we just sit with and advise to get your documents and estate in order. The tragedy of losing a loved one is challenging enough to handle and try to move on from. The very least we should all do to lessen our family and friends’ heartache and despair is to make sure our affairs are in order.
