parents care but don’t always show it

on Jan29 2010

Somewhere is a father that would like nothing more than to say, “your mom and I didn’t see eye to eye, or I would’ve been there”.

Somewhere is a mother that wants to explain, why she thought adoption was best for her baby.

Somewhere is a young adult, wondering how can a parent not care about me? And when it’s all over neither know the truth.

I am pretty sure every parent thinks about their children even if they are not part of their kids life. Causing millions to grow up believing, a parent didn’t loved them.

It’s human nature to avoid conflict. Sometimes reasoning or circumstance breaks the bonds of communication and parenthood. Jealousy, shame, incarceration, location, addiction, ego or just plain hatred for one’s ex spouse. These are all excuses that they are still the cause not to be taken personally by the children of divorce.

I can only imagine the grief of wanting to tell my son or daughter, “I thought about you every single day of my life” but couldn’t. And the desire to explain and apologize for my actions, or lack of them. It may not be what the kid needs, but it might be what I would needs to say before crossing over.

I think a lot of people in this world, that have heart wrenching feelings they wished they could express. But for one reason or another they cannot say it. Perhaps the person you want to talk to is married and you are not welcome. Or a brother or sister unsettled argument. Maybe you committed a crime, that you feel guilty about and would like to make things right. These are things you can do with after life messages from regret to inform. It’s called bringing closure to ones life, of taking care of unfinished business.

Personally, I would like to tell certain people how much I loved them. And yes, some are married, and no I do not contact them. That’s because I love them I leave them alone.

  • Do you have any kids you have not talked to lately?
  • Have any family or friends been distant lately or might need your guidance?
  • Do you have any old girlfriends or boyfriends, to say goodbye to?
  • Maybe you would just like to say, the party is over for me, enjoy the rest of your life, and I’ll see you at the next gathering.

Like the mother and father mentioned above, there are children and grandchildren that will never know the good person you were. Unless you take this opportunity to tell your side of the story.
Is there anything you would like to say, that would be a burden off your shoulders but you can’t say it?
Apologies and confessions are sometimes better left unsaid, but sometimes it’s better they are said to help everyone, move on.

The catch to this is, you have to do it while you are alive. Not so hard to understand, is it? You say anything and add an email address. You’ll help them over the greif of losing you, that is if they liked you in the firstplace. If not just say goodbye to your friends with style.

If you died today, who would take care of your family?

GOOD NEWS 14,000 die of Swine-flu ?

on Jan27 2010

RADIO REPORTS; normal flu season takes 200 to 400,000 THOUSAND lives a year. The reporter today was HaPpY (?) to report 14,ooo deaths from Swine-Flu, world-wide. Continuing talk was about drug companies hyping the pandemic. Things just weren’t right about this news.

Granted the numbers are low for an annual World-wide disease or virus casualty count.  The information about normal flu casualties is more eyeopening and concerning. So from now on I will take more precautions when the common flu strikes home.

Since millions were expected to die from this pandemic, I guess, so far this is good news, millions were expected… Now what will happen next time?  Will people listen to warnings?

It’s reasons like this I created this blog &  www.RegretToInform.com as a way to help your family if  a simple flu upsets your families balance.

F. A. Q. & Regret To Inform

on Jan10 2010

Q. What is the difference between a $25 , $100 and $500 e-vault?

A. The $25 was established for our military personnel to create a couple dozen messages using a few photographs.
Our mid-sized 100 megabyte account, is large enough meet the needs of most families to create a safety net with photographs of home contents and personal directions in case disaster strikes.
Our largest 500 mg. e-vault, was established for members that have large video files they wish to transfer and store. Actors or companies wishing to use this unique tool for business presentations.

Q. $25/ 25 megabytes, a year is almost free, why charge at all?

A. The need to be legally binding is necessary. We expect giving people the freedom to say anything, will create legal issues. Requiring a legally binding release from our members, makes us only delivery personal. Otherwise we could give the $25 package away.

Q. Why annual payments and not monthly?

A. Because of the nature of our business, each year, we need to confirm our members are healthy enough to renew. Or investigate if messages need to be delivered.

Q. I do not want to write a lot of messages, how will this help me?

A.  A box titled “MESSAGE TO ALL” when checked that message gets addressed to everyone on your email list. It could be one message for use at your service or one sent to a hundred friends.

Q. I do not want to send messages, how will this help me?

A. Memory, intimate pictures or documents can be lost or destroyed. By putting it here, you or someone could use it in time of need. Or it will be deleted automatically at the end of our contract.

A. Each messages requires an email address. By using your private email address everything in your eVault, will be automatically deleted if an accident takes you.

Q. How long will my messages be available for viewing?

A. Six months after our verification team confirms your status and releases notification of your passing.

Q. My mother has an account and I am now her care-giver. I need to locate her policies. What do I do?

A. If she can share her password, do that. Otherwise customer service will work with you and her administrators. A court order may be necessary to review the content.

Q. Do you ever look at the content of a member?

A. NO. We will not risk our reputation. A password is required which is not accessible to our staff. You control your password and you are automatically notified when it is changed.

Q. Do you have access to my messages that are delivered?

A. Yes, but only after your passing or by a Court order. For our protection, we reserve the right to view, delete or report video and photos. We do not condone, racism, suicide, acts of terrorism or other issues considered illegal or immoral. ( terms of use )

Q. What if someone complains about my message?

A. Your message will be frozen for review to determine if the complaint is valid. Corporate, government or trade secrets will void messages but it will have been done too late. We are only the messenger.

Q. What is with that name, Regret To Inform?

A. When notifications are automatically sent, the subject will appear with your name & Regret To Inform.  It is important these e-mails are not overlooked as,  junk mail.

Q. What if I decide to cancel my account?

A. Certain actions made it to your account will generate a notification e-mail to you. This includes each time your administrator/trustee attempts to open your lock,  or you can sort your account. At which time we require your reply. Once confirmed, all your content will be deleted.

Q. How do we know when our member passes away?

A. Our members assigned 3 to 6 administrators to act as trustees. These administrators are responsible for notifying our system. Each  have a key/code, once all are entered then we begin an investigation process. Once completed, we release notifications to  the e-mail recipients that a message is waiting for them, along with directions to accept our terms of use to view messages and a password.

Q. What happens if my administrator, accidentally enters their key/code?

A. You and your administrators will be notified via email, until all key/codes are entered. You will need to reset your account ASAP.

Q. What if I am in a coma or just unable to reset my account?

A. Your Health-care Directives page will be available to your administrators once a key/code is entered. This is the only page provided for early viewing.

Q. What if someone wants access to my account after I passed away?

A. We anticipate this and require a court order. Because we value your privacy, we will do everything possible to prevent this from happening by evening, your spouse.
This was built so we can communicate with past loves for one last time.

Q. You offer programs for certain professions, why?

A. We intended to be a .org to raise money for charity.  Because of our legal obligations as a delivery service. We are required to be a .com corporation. These programs, help us increase the charitable contributions which we were originally intended.

Q. Isn’t delivering uncensored messages for someone who is deceased, risky?

A. Yes, very! Our exposure to being sued is very high. We believe there are more people willing to use this website for compassionate reasons, other than greed. This is a reason for being a.com corporation, our revenues are earmarked for charity, and legal fees.

Q. What if my wife wants access to my bank messages?

A. It will not happen without a court order.  We expect intimate letters to  remain that way.

I’d rather die than…

on Jan7 2010

Have times changed or is it a that I am getting older and hearing more often. People talking about their preference to “die rather than go through the pain of medical treatments”?

The other day while sitting in the waiting room to have my eyes checked. I overheard a couple people talking about dialysis. They seem to have just met and were comparing life experiences. He was about 40 and had lost a brother and a sister in their 20’s to a rare family led disease. She was about 50, and had lost a sister to diabetes. she went on to describe a pain in the physical changes her sister went through.then went on to say she would rather die than have to go through all that pain and suffering. The younger man was in total agreement and add that he would rather take his chances in heaven than go through the pain of dialysis.

This evening, I listened to it exposé on TV about a community with a higher than normal rate of diabetes among their citizens. I wasn’t paying full attention, I was busy working, but I did hear one of the citizens say,”she would rather die than go through dialysis”.

I have not experienced this pain but I have a friend that passed away recently. Diabetes being one of the final straws that made life unbearable for him, once he lost both feet. Dialysis was not an option for him.

I am old school, I know that doctors and machines can keep me alive even if I were in a coma. But why would I want to be a burden to society. A pain to my family to see me suffer in absolute stillness, when I could be a free spirit. Modern medicine dictates doctors are to keep me alive, when it should be my choice to decide if I want treatment are not. They are not God, and God wants me and wants to take me that is when I should go.

I am not surprised I share the sentiments, to not want to suffer or cause my loved ones to suffer watching me suffer. I am more surprised to hear people talk openly about their preference to accept the afterlife. Rather than life with pain and suffering. It is 2010 and of the 10 million other baby boomers, I know I’m not alone.

It makes me feel good to know that I’m not alone. I truly believe Heaven is a beautiful place. Maybe it’s because I am older, hopefully wiser than I was 40 years ago, that I look forward to going home when it is my time. I am in no hurry and will accept medical attention to a certain extent.

I know there are thousands out there who are suffering from chemotherapy, dialysis, amputation, skin grafts and cosmetic surgery from burns, to name just a few symptoms of struggling to survive. I commend your endurance, your strength, your desired to survive and live a longer life. Those that love you, appreciate your efforts. Understand that others look at life & death differently.

Personally, I believe we should have the right to decide for ourselves whether we live or die, or except medical efforts to continue beyond easing suffering. In other words, if you can’t fix me. Let me die quickly, correction assist me to cross over, respectfully with dignity.
