But ethical wills went out of favor in the Middle Ages because they became too specific and perhaps guilt-inducing, Schube said. They were very directive on how to live your lives, and as we got more freedom in how to live our lives, we didn't pay attention to the specific directives. With that in mind, the workshop will note that suggestions or guidelines will be more helpful to survivors than demands. The workshop will encourage women to prepare ethical wills, even those who never had children. They think they have done it while parenting.
Men take it as a right to pass on stuff.
They earned the stuff and they have a right to give it away. Someone should know who you were in the core values of who you are. You can leave it for nieces, nephews or friends. One reason people have difficulty considering an ethical will is that it brings up the difficult topic of death and dying, Schube and Carmouche said. When you are diagnosed with an illness, it gives you a perspective that now is the time.
