Partner/DH has stage 4 cancer diagnosed a year ago. I think he is denial and its his way of coping day to day is to have his treatments but day today forget/pretend its not happening and he is just the same (he gets tired, is sometimes forgetful and sometimes clumsier).
We both get upset when talking about or thinking about the future. We are both late 50’s and both still working and have two kids in late teens.
I would like for us both to discuss all practicalities and our wants needs and priorities and then get on with living a full a life as possible together and when things take a turn for the worse (we have no idea of timelines) at least we know we have our house in order and we needn’t waste our time and energies thinking about any of that then.
Should we change the household bills into my name? We could look at pensions? Mortgage only has about 6 or 7 months to run should we leave things as they are or pay it off? Anything else we should be thinking about? Or where would I find a list? We have a joint will leaving everything to the kids equally.
