Have you made provisions for your dolls if you die?

A thought provoking topic...

If I dropped dead now for some bizarre reason, I'd want my parents or brother to hold onto Manic as a kind of memento, provided it didn't freak them out to much, I guess. The character was is the most like me of all my characters, and I've used him as my online alter-ego on most games and forums, and they know that.

If I were married/had kids (though at present, I'm very anti-child) by the time I died, I think I'd want Manic to go be passed down to someone who would love having him as much as I. If not...Gosh, I dunno. Maybe I'd give him to my brother's kids if he wound up with any, provided they weren't doll-phobic. I'd rather he remain loved and unsold, either way. Burying him with me would seem mean, somehow...

On the other hand, part of me would like to achieve enough fame in something to warrent a mini exhibition of my works and semi-related nicknacks, and I'd want Manic in that. That way, no one could ruin/sell him off, but he wouldn't be stuck in a box underground where no one could see him, either. xD;

I dunno...

 

I haven't really thought of it yet, I know I'm certainly not planning on dying anytime soon and if I'm somehow lucky I probably won't die for a long time.

But generally speaking, I'm not sure what I'd do. I'm thinking I may actually outlive my dolls, and maybe move them on to someone else if they're not in bad condition.

 

I like to think, that maybe in the far future, there will be ways to make immortality. 8D If I think this way, I don't have to worry about "OMG I HAVE NO ONE TO GIVE THEM TO BUT BURYING IS SCARY AND BESIDES.. THEY'LL BE DUG UP SOMETIME.. ;O;"

I'm probably expecting way too much, but scientists, doctors, I'm counting on you! *o*

EDIT:
The reason I think this way is this.. XD

Isn't that cool?! XD; It probably won't happen, but I like to think it will so that I can live my life thinking I'll never let my dolls go, granted they don't turn to dust or expire before me, now.

 

I actually dont know what would happen to my girls... I'd want them to be with someone who I knew and trusted who likes dolls. That's only three people worldwide. And i'd like the girls to still live together.

 

I'll never die - Ever.
That's just to depressing thinking about x'P

 

You may be just joking about this, but I have buried a lot of people in my lifetime, and I do not have a scrap of patience for anyone who whines about death being "depressing" or "morbid" or "scary." It is reality. It is yet another cycle of nature. Yes, it sucks to be reminded that human beings aren't all that special and the universe doesn't revolve around ME, but that realization is also part of becoming an adult. Remember that once you're dead you don't have to worry about things like your funeral arrangements or disposing of your property, but someone, whether your heirs, the county or your landlord, will have to. It is a loving and deeply considerate gesture towards your survivors to make things easy on them and plan ahead. Write a will and a medical directive. Ask about the mementos your friends and relatives would prefer to have. Put your important documents in a safety deposit box and keep a list of its contents. Preplan your funeral, whether conventional or cremation, and either prepay or have a life insurance policy that will pay for it. Clear out your junk once in a while so someone doesn't have to plow through decades of accumulation trying to guess what's important or not. No, I have no issues about this sort of thing, none whatsoever. Don't know what you're talking about.

 

All my dolls (and some other personal items) will go to my nieces and great-nieces. Only one of my nieces isn't a doll person, but my other 4 are. I recently told my eldest niece this and she cried: "nothings going to happen to you!"...which is nice to hear she'd like to keep me around, even over a doll

 

Um, well… I don’t know when I will die but I already have more than enough life insurance to cover my funeral expenses and then some! So if I don’t happen to outlive my dad, then he won’t be financially struck!

My younger sister likes dolls by association so I will more than likely give them to her. Unless I am married and have kids, each of my kids and my husband will get one and my sister will get the rest! (or they will split among them; like if I have two kids, my husband and my sister-and I have 8 dolls, they will get two each! Etc…)

It’s a scary thing to think about, but as you get older… LIFE is a scary thing to think about and I can understand not wanting to think about it.
Making a simple will to make sure your darlings are taken care of and having ENOUGH life insurance {to make sure they can have new goodies to go along with them too!!} is key! And it doesn’t mean you will die tomorrow! [[Well, I wont.. I am going to turn myself into RESIN!! MWUHAHAHAH!!]]

 

I feel really sad D:
I don't want to leave Zi behind
I'd want to burry him with me but its the thought that he'd be with me there...with worms and stuff yuk!

I would have him cremated with me though...

I'd like to leave him to my family. But I can't bare the thought that some where down the line he would probably get disowned XD

 

I'm leaving all my dolls, antiques and bjd's, to my eight year old great niece, except for my favorite childhood teddy bear. He's going in the box with me. She's little, but has a great sense of style and knows the value of things. She can sell them or keep them. If I happen to have a little warning about my demise, I might sell the most valuable ones myself.

 

I've actually thought about that alot. My family doesn't really understand bjds, and would probably try to sell them off.

I would probably give them to my bestfriend, she likes them, and would keep them safe.

 

I have NO idea. My dolls are important to me but not that important! >__> I guess that they would go to my little sister if I had to will them to anybody. Not that she really likes dolls, but I think she is the one in my family that doesn't dislike them :P

 

I told my husband not to see my dolls if something happens to me. He laughed. I suppose my son would get them and hopefully he'd have someone to pass them on to (at some point) if he wasn't into them. Luckily I am in excellent health and plan to stick around for a long long time!

 

I think.. Im being burned up and tossed out, so to speak, so i wouldn't be able to take them with me.. So I think I would find someplace and bury them.. like in a time capsule. It would be every elegant and maybe even have a plexiglass lid so that their faces can be seen when they are eventually dug up.. I have the picture in my head now.. It'll be freaking awesome. Decked out in white lace and stuff.... But, hopefully I have a long time left before I have to worry about it.

 

You know, honestly...
I think that if I were to die, I'd leave most of my kids to my mom. XD
Hatsuyuki would probably go to my friend, Cookie.
I would like to leave a part of me with the people that I care about the most.
It would be weird to be buried with them. Lol.

 

I suppose this is going to be a rather depressing question but it's something I've been fighting with internally for a while..So forgive.

Don't you ever wonder what's going to happen to your lovelies when your gone? I mean..Aren't you afraid of them being treated illy or just thrown out like trash when you aren't there to protect them anymore.

Egh again I'm very sorry for being so utterly depressing.

 

They're going in the coffin with me.

End of discussion 83

 

I'll make sure to include mine in my will so that they'll go to someone who will either appreciate them or find them good homes. That way family members won't have to look at my dolls and go what the heck do I do with this? Hypothetically if something were to happen to me right this instant, my family knows enough about them that they wouldn't just throw them away. Actually, they'd probably end up with my bjd collecting friend.
