When I'm gone: mourning the dearly departed ... slightly before departure.

We are all going to die one day. There are some practical steps we can take now to increase the likelihood that our loved ones with SMI will have food, shelter, clothing, and hopefully some form of emotional care after we are gone. We can also work on accepting the legitimacy of this task for ourselves, other relatives, professionals, and our child with SMI. Sprinkled with a dollop of mercy, we can muddle through.
