One of the things I loved about James is that he never shied away from the hard truths and details associated with hardship and violence. This is good info and definitely keeping with Tactical Response traditions of being truly ready for the fight.
My mother has been gone since I was 17....father was never around....my grandfather raised me until 10 when he died....my grandmother finally passed April 15th 2024. I have no immediate family left. A lot of the life lesson I learned, I learned through James on here. I'll be meeting y'all soon when I make it out to Camden....but what I've had to deal with, handling my grandmother's treatment and hospice and all of that has been harrowing to say the least. This video is INCREDIBLY valuable information. And I am Very Very grateful that y'all are giving people this info. FOR NO TOHER REASON THAN THAT YOU CARE...you do not HAVE to be doing this...neither did James....and I am and always will be so grateful for ALL of you. I'll be seeing u soon. Love Y'all
Part of the Fight is acknowledging there is an end (no one gets out alive). Don't let it be a regret. It is your responsibility to plan for your eventual demise (unless you don't like your family and you want to heap misery upon them).
Great information. I have been through all this myself. I personally deal with severe chronic illnesses that I’m not coming back from. So I had to get all my ducks in a row. I’m someone who is ready to go home to heaven. It’s a hard subject to deal with but it’s reality.
Bless you, brother. I'm circling closer but perhaps not as close as you. Tonight, I like this one: Isaiah 43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.
I am just learning about his passing from the comments in this video. Kinda hits harder than I expected. I was wondering how he was doing just yesterday . DANG what a kick in the gut
Excellent video. My parents are getting up there and we've started these conversations. This isn't an easy topic for me, but it is something that needs to be dealt with.
My mom prepared NOTHING. And it just added insult to injury when she died almost 10 years ago. Same with grandma about 6 years ago. Austin and I need to do it now. We have two young children and it’s that much more important.
I need to finish getting all this done . Thanks for making this video ! Also something else that is handy for those of us in the pew pew collecting realm . Have someone you trust help the family go over stuff if needed ( value , use , care , etc ) . Something else that is very helpful is having ATF form 5's pre filled out for the heirs after the fact if needed .
Great video on a hard topic. I dealt with all of this over the loss of a parent a few years back. Fortunately we had these conversations and documents in place prior to loss of a loved one. Going through loss is hard enough, no need to complicate more by not being prepared.
To add on to your DNR DNT DNI those may vary state to state in California there is what we call a POLST (Physicians order for life sustaining treatment) It covers all of those in one form and is a bright pink form so we as EMS providers can spot it easily .
And remember the POLST form (Physician order for life sustaining treatment) that tells the responding medics what and what not to do you when they respond to the scene. It's brightly colored and goes on the front of the fridge. God bless you and thank you.
Sat with my father all the way through his last day. Harder than anything I could have imagined, but I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else. I hope you and your family are doing well
Even the immortals didn't live forever. Good information and way to cope with loss of life. People love to fear death then run around with their head cut off when it happens and nothing is in order. Seen it so much in the funeral business, and life insurance claims.
A timely video for sure. My dad lives near Dickson, TN and recently had a stroke. When I looked into it he has done not much at all as far as having things in order. He has a will, but it was made many years ago while living here in Texas. He did own his property there in TN at the time and it is mentioned in the will, but I am thinking I need to get another one done in TN. I am just confused on what all I need and where to start.
I wish my father had done this. We made the last part of his life miserable because we didn't want to let him go. At the time we thought we were doing the right thing
It depends. You can get free forms online and have them notarized for a nominal fee or you can spend thousands in estate planning. The will is the costliest thing to do. You can usually get the others set up at your local county hospital.
Must be nice to have parents that give a damn.... just another day of hearing how everyone is fortunate to have parents that care about looking after kids after they die. My brother and I wont get a dime unlike most everyone else... but we will get Debt. So for yall out there with parents that want to leave something for yall..... you should feel fortunate and alot of people wont get a dime but pain and suffering.
Think long and hard before you say do everything to keep me alive. It can turn into a living hell. Let your health care proxy know what your wishes are. Listen to what they are saying ( guys in video) and really consider what you want the end of your life to be like for you and your loved ones.
