What should I do when my end of life is approaching?
Dear readers,
Is there someone who can tell me exactly what I should do in sequence when my end of life is approaching (I am not sick, but I am old). The information I received from the embassy is “global”, and certainly not detailed. I assume that everything is in it, but who takes the action, how it should be done, to which hospital, etc., that remains in the air.
I am eagerly looking for very practical information. To who should do what, and at what time.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Jan
Editors: Do you have a question for the readers of Thailandblog? Use it contact form..
Hi Jan, look for death at the top left of search.
You will find everything there that has to do with death, such as a scenario.
Greetings Eric
I think this is quite a personal question.
I have many years of experience in social services, but I cannot simply answer your question. Approaching the end is completely different for everyone. This also applies to what steps to take. First of all, there is your own care and help. What do you want to do with your belongings after your death? Your own wishes are also important before everything can be sorted out. Do you not have a confidential counselor in your area?
Dear Yes,
you do not indicate whether you are Dutch or Belgian. That is already a difference, so cannot give a conclusive answer to your question as it is incomplete.
About two weeks ago, here on TB, another article, specifically for Dutch people, was published, which provides a lot of clarity and can even be downloaded in Thai. Unread?
If you are Belgian, you can also find the necessary information here on TB, in the file 'Deregistration for Belgians'.
Start reading all that and you will become a lot wiser.
Dear Jan,
there is not much info in your question. A lot depends on your personal situation.
Are you single, married, do you have children, grandchildren? What are your possessions, what do you want with them?
In principle, you can also think of, after me the flood and do nothing. after all you are bluntly dead.
It won't matter to you. May sound blunt and selfish, but in fact it is.
There are plenty of people in the world who die and have no one. It can even take a long time before people realize it.
What do you want anyway?
Given my advanced age of 80 years, I would like to be eligible for guidelines in the event of death in both Dutch and Thai. On June 23, a report appeared on TB that compatriots are in possession of these guidelines. I tried to log in immediately, but it didn't work. I would like to reimburse the costs associated with shipping. Receiving by email is also appreciated. Many thanks in advance. My residential address: 288/1 Moo 9 Yanri, Kabin Buri 25110, Thailand. I have no objection if my e-mail address is shown.
Oh dear,
What a nasty article. Dear Jan. You, me & everyone have to say goodbye sometime. I think it is more than dignified that you are preparing for your next of kin. I myself am Belgian and have been married to my Thai wife for 15 years. My entire Belgian family is gone, so my wife is the only heiress I have included in my will. When you, me or all of us are gone, the state apparatus will claim all your possessions without a will. Are you going to return from your grave? Prevention is better than cure!
I wish you good health and go for it!
Greetings,
Eddy
