I thought about asking my dad what he wants me to do when he dies with his stuff but I don’t want to upset him. He is in bad health a cigarette smoker sixty one nearly.

I don’t know him so I couldn’t know how he would react. It’s just words, at his age he knows he won’t live forever, he knows someday he will die and this discussion has to be had eventually. It’s a normal question, really. It’s good to plan ahead so when the unfortunate time comes and he passes away the survivors should know what his wishes are so they know what to expect so it will minimize fighting and misunderstandings over his money or possessions when he’s gone. I’m 57 and I think about my death. I won’t leave much but hopefully people will remember me after I’m gone as a good person why tried to treat people fairly and who tried his best. Yeah, discussing death might be a touchy subject for someone but everybody dies. And it is smart to plan ahead.

Is there some way you can think of to ease the two of you into the conversation?

Another thing to consider is who will make health care decisions for your dad should he be unable to make them himself. You might discuss this with your dad as well.
