I have thought about this a few times but it hit home hard this week.... A dear friend and coworker passed away and has really torn our work group up... I'm still numb... But my boss was super busy today so I volunteered to clean out his office and pack up everything to take to his wife. NOT a fun job.... But he did not have a lot of things except a few personal things on his pc... I was burning some of his files to a CD when I came accross a subdirectory with a couple .... x-rated photos I'm sure his wife would not appreciate.. probably downloaded of the web... So I depeted them..

But this made me think... what if I passed away tommorow... what would my coworkers find in my office?

Well... there's a couple bags of fem clothing for those just-in-time crossdressing events including forms and lingerie and skirts and tops ... wigs... heels...... A fem jacket hanging on the back of my door... one of my makeup kits... lots of lotions... nail polish... a couple DVD's and jump drive full of my fem photos... It wouldn't take them a few minutes to completely figure out what was going on.... And if they packed them up and delivered them to my family...... Well I would be gone so I wouldn't care but what impact would that have on my family??

So how about you??

Several opportunities in the last few months to serve as a pall bearer at friends funerals has gotten me thinking that I'm getting old!

If I passed today, nothing at work would hint at my femme side. However, my closet in the basement when opened by my SO would shock her as to the amount of stuff I've collected. I have more shoes, panties, and bras than most women (probably more than any three or four women combined) and I'm pretty sure that she wouldn't be pleasantly surprised!

One of the reasons that I came out to my daughter. Now I know that if SO and I were to die together that my closet would be discreetly cleaned :)

Karen,

I've thought about the same thing in the last couple of months, because of what happened at one of my classes.

On and off for the last four years I have been taking bellydance lessons. Several months ago, after a new quarter started and we were into the about the third week, I arrived for the class a little early and there was another student waiting outside for the instructor. She was new and usually talked to me at each class.

I sometimes go to class en femme, but usually with an androgynous look like I was that day. Anyway we started talking and she asked me why I was taking bellydance classes? I told her that I was working on female presentation and movement and her response was, why? Then I told her that I was a crossdresser. She thought for a minute and then told me that she got married when she was young to an older man, who was a crossdresser. She told me that they were married for about fifteen year and had a couple of kids before he died. Then she proceeded to tell me after he died, she had to go through all of his girl stuff.

It was an interesting conversation and I felt like I had made a new friend. That was the last time that I saw her, she started going to a different class.

Sadly enough, there is still a stigma attached to what we do and it is difficult for other to deal with sometimes.

Good topic Karren! I imagine they would have a lot of hockey stuff, too! Seriously, a close friend's wife, who was a friend to me, died, in October, and, last month, my last living uncle died, and, another passed, a few months earlier. Yes, i think about the big sleep everyday, as i am having some issues, and need to write an updated will. I don't know who would go through my stuff. Maybe The Salvation Army, or Goodwill. I empathize your loss. In 1975, a wrkmate where i was working, got electrocuted, fell off a ladder, died there. I was home sick that day.

I've thought about this many times, Karren. The revelations would not come from someone who was clearing out my office; it would come from someone--probably family members who sorted through my closet areas at home. They too would not have to think very long or hard to figure out what has been a part of my life for so long but so secretly.
I've considered telling some key people or giving instructions to a close friend, but no one knows so I think that I've got to face the fact that there will be a BIG revelation or I've got to disclose my crossdressing to family and friends.
Since I am semi-retired, I don't really have job issues to worry about regarding retribution or dismissal from my work. It's all person. I have been working my way slowly over the past year or so, trying to get some family informed. I hope to take of it before I die and leave a mystery behind.

Dunno... except for the photos, maybe there was an intern living under your desk?

As for me, well, I don't think I'll care much what anyone finds, after I'm dead.

Good topic for us older girls. At work there were just some heels and undies, not a problem since my good friend there would "clean up" for me. At home there may be a surprise for a heating engineer if there was a problem in our boiler room which required the floor boards to be lifted.

Oh, can I clear out your office please, I need to re-stock.

I think that is a concern or should be a concern to all of us is what happens to all our femm stuff when we die - who will have to deal with it -

I always wanted to be buried in my best feminine outfit - have any of you ever thought this way ?

One of my best friends who has a key and knows where everything is going to take care of things. She will even take care of my home computer. She lives close by and my family lives 100 miles away so I think I'm covered.

But this made me think . . . what if I passed away tomorrow . . . what would my family find in my clothes closet? (I am retired)

Well, there's about two dozen bras, a half-dozen girdles, three or four camis, and a couple pair of nylons in packages. Since I am an underdresser, this is all any one will find. My wife buys for me, and so there are no real surprises. I have about 25 years in underdressing, have never purged (just replaced) and enjoy life's pleasures. I have urges to go further, but don't want to upset the Mrs. I am jealous of many of you.

As you can see, this is my first post, but have read (at least) 5,000 of Karren's posts (and many others). Best wishes to all. AIM.

I won't worry about that, there are far better things to think of so fiddly dee I'll think about that tomorrow. My wife knows all so if I died than I would guess she would conceal all my stuff and then toss them when she gets over the loss. I don't have forms, just me on top so all the rest is clothes, shoes an wigs, which could easily be explained if she chose to.
Good luck girls i hope you all live to be 150 and die in your sleep, thats how I plan to go.

My wonderful gf (his loving wife) knows all about Tina so there are no surprises, except maybe an extra pair of panty hose or stockings, and then there are all the shoes she's probably forgotten about! I can see her just shaking her head and smiling! :)

My sympathies to you Karren on the loss of your friend.
And good thinking to keep some of those things from reaching his family.

For me, my wife is the only one that knows and will take care of the clothing.

All of my pics are either in my private e-mail folders or on this site. I also have my computer set up to delete all visited sites within 24 hours. I have nothing on my work computer at all. I discipline myself to only be Shari on the home machine.

The only thing I can't guard against is if we both go at the same time.
The up side to that is that we're pretty close to the same size, she being an 11/12 and me a 14.

The only other way is to stop completely and there's no way I'm giving that up.

Another thought. What if you died while dressed? Who would find you?
Not much you can prepare for in that regard.

This topic does cross my mind from time to time. I don't have anything at the office, because I'm so worried someone would find out. We have open drawers open computers type office. I'm using my office computer now, but everybodys out. I delete my browsing history several times a day(hope that works). As for home, if I'm dead it wont matter. My brother and sister will go through my closets and drawers and say " Danm, Now I all makes sense" Ther may be alittle shock and alot of laughter, then life will continue.

It is kind of interesting, but I too have been thinking about this and what the discovery would be like. I do not have anything at work that would let my secret life come to view. I do have a bag of clothes in my car that when unzipped would let on to Lauren and would certainly be a major surprise to my family. I have clothing in my dresser that also would have the same result. Like others I have photos, and links to websites on my personal laptop that would indicate my crossdressing activities.

What this topic has really done is continued to support my aching desire to share with my wife my crossdressing. I have been thinking about this a lot recently as I have read many stories regarding honesty, and to be upfront with our significant others. As I have posted various times my marriage is in a very bad spot, one that I do not think it will overcome, and have allowed it to be my excuse for not sharing. Being afraid that this would be the final card in our relationship. Increasingly, I am not sure if that is really all that important anymore. What is important is to be honest with her, and let the chips fall where they will. I have taken many risks before, and maybe in doing this it will recall her very selective memory to many years ago, when I did share this with her. I could falsely be laboring under the delusion that she is not aware, but does remember my dressing but not to the point I am currently at. I think of talking to her as a personal freedom for me, and am getting very prepared to come out to her.

Karen, thanks for this topic. I am sure that many of us that are in the closet can use this as encouragement to share to whom we are able to, especially those significant others that are not aware of who we are. I know I would be dead, but it would be so terrible for them to have to see this. Having her in the know can really serve as damage control for others. She would not be blindsided and then could be there to clean up things.

of course we have all thought of this especially us girls in our 60s.for me my family knows about phylis and all my clothing is in my closet hanging with my wifes clothing.as for business thats another problem as i work for boston market and no one there knows about me so i have to be very carefull when i am driving for them.and when my time comes i will be probably be buried as my real self and maybe they will put a asterick on my stone with my femme name as it was mine if i had been born a female. :love:phylisanne

Joanne,

Yes, I have. I have a fantasy of being buried in my favorite feminine outift, too:daydreaming:. If there is not a wake or viewing, that might not be any problem since my family all know about Stephanie. If I do have a viewing then the problem might just be with my wife and kids but none of them is embarrassed with Stephanie so that might not be a problem either!! I have many friends who know about Stephanie and they probably wouldn't mind. My co-workers don't know and would be surprised, but so what!!?? They'll never see me again!!

And, by the way, I have no secret stash of anything that my family doesn't know about.

Love,
Stephanie

Well, I have shoes hidden all over the place and some clothes my wife doesn't know about. Since she knows about me, I think she would only be irked at the numbers. She will be upset with the pics of me out and about since she doesn't know about that.
She just told me I better not die (underdressed) because she won't be able to get them off me and she will not be embarrassed!
Karren -- This topic is along the lines of one I have been thinking about for the past month. More on that later.

Karren, There was never any indication of my dressing at my job but my closets at home are chock full of my femme clothes. I have come out to my SO and several friends but I'm still apprehensive about coming out to my family. I live alone and if I were to die tomorrow, it would probably be members of my family who would be stuck with the task of going through all my presonal belongings. As some of them suspect my dressing, I don't think any of them know how much I am into it. They are all in for a big surprise when they open my closets and dressers and find all my feminine acoutrements.:eek:

Ditto for me. Work is not an issue (retired) but my children and family don't know, my gf knows and we have an agreement that she would clear my house in that event but I feel she would not get everything and in the event that we both might go at the same time I would be exposed. What if I was in drag at the time, since I am almost 24/7? Coming out to my family and children may be the only option but I find that very daunting. It is true that as the deceased I would not care but I do need to care about those remaining behind. It would shake what they had perceived of their father and brother. Some would take in stride but I am not sure how it would be taken by my sons. Good thought, Karen.

It has been a (little) concern for 30 years, when I was deeply in the closet.
But, in that era, I believed I would probably stop CDing before my death (if not accidental), so that it was no big deal.

Things would change when I understood CDing would not stop. As soon as I realized I was a TGirl for life, it became clear to me that I could not go on living my CDing in the closet.
People who care of me must know who I am. :love:

(as for others I don't care at all what they're thinking) :tongueout

Then, thanks to this forum, I decided to come out to my close related ones.

By the same occasion, having come out solved also the matter of discovering my stuff after my death. :battingeyelashes:

I don't keep to many personal affects at the shop that would give away any secerts. My tools and equipment I use of course are there. What I hope I leave is an impression to be your best at what you do. I sometimes take a lot of ribbing from the younger kids in our shop. They always tell me I do things to nice, the owwner will never appreciate what you do. They are right but I always tell them I do it this way for myself and no one else. Thats how I want to be remebered

I'm not particularly worried about it. The only three people who matter (my wife and daughters,) already know. Honestly, i couldn't care less what anyone else thinks.

I feel this is something probably most of us have had at least a passing thought on. For the most part, we care about how we impact others, and when you care that way, it can extend past life itself.

I do nothing past panties at work. It is a secure facility and searches are possible although rare. The work computer is off limits. Most companies that I know of that are any reasonable size track internet usage automatically. They may or may not view all the results, but the information is there to see. Heck of a way to get outed (or lose a job in these tough times).

At home, I have some comfort with my wife to protect my rear. What I do think about is first if my wife and me go together. Then it depends which of the kids does the cleaning out of the house. The most responsible one is the most likely one to take it hard. The other two may chuckle and go "hey look at this." Now if my wife pre-deceases me, then it would be tough. I know I would be thinking about purging, but I see here how well that works. So I will just wait and see if that day actually comes. The situation could well have changed by then.

Like a lot of girls here, I don't have anything at work and our computers are considered government property (we should assume they are monitored).

About a year ago I decided that I didn't want to leave a messy office for someone to clean up if I were to die (or even become disabled and not be able to return. My former boss never returned after damaging his back in an accident. I was one of three employees tasked with cleaning out his office.)

I have been working on getting old papers, books, etc. thrown away, taken home, archived or scanned. Being a pack rat it goes against my instincts but so far, so good.

As for the home stash, I think my wife would pour it into a trash bag(s) and throw it out.

Don't think I'd like to be buried en femme. I do like the idea of an asterisk on the headstone with the femme name. :)

i've given this some thought for the past few years, and to answer your question there would be nothing to find at work since i don't do that nasty stuff anymore...lol.

at home though, well, let's just say your post gave me pause....i'd rather not my leave family with the task of sorting through the belongings of a woman they have never known....somehow it doesn't seem fair.

01-10-2009, 09:57 AM
Thats why I'm glad my wife knows. She chooses to ignore it pretty much like Karen's wife. I've had enough soul serching to get were I'm at now. So to panic and try to cover my tracks now seems pointless. She knows and she will throw all my stuff away and will go on pretending it never happened. The real problem is after you die and hopefully your standing at the pearly gates. They ask who you are and you still don't have an answer.

Karen,
When my wife passed a little over a year ago I had really nothing to indicate I loved dressing in the house or at work. Since then I had to go through her things and box them up and found things I did not know she had. Now that I have a full closet of dresses, tops, heels and a few wigs I thought it would be best if I left a "journal" for the kids to explain the whys and hows of my dressing. I left it open ended on the desk top of my computer so they will find it if they look.

It was nice that you sheltered the family from things they did not need to see. You may be silly at times but you're great to. Huggs Keli GO MINNESOTA WILD

I,nm sorry you lost a friend .......
The topic of what you leave behind ....oh my , very close to my heart !
I recently went on holiday .....I decided before leaving to write a note , left in Shelly's wardrobe. It was meant for my direct family.
Just in case .
I apologised for leaving my family behind and the hurt they must be going thru , and more than anything that I loved them dearly . I also informed whoever had opened my wardrobe to forgive me . I apologised for giving them one more shock they didnt need .
I also informed them , that keeping my secret of being a crossdresser , was of my mind , and that I didnt want to burden them with worry as to why my behaviour had developed me in this way . It was just a part of me I,d grown to accept. but lived in fear of my family never accepting Shelly........ a hard thing to consider....
I nearly cried when I wrote that note.
My clothes were to be given to charity , my hair pieces thrown away as my make up. My photos ...well I think it was up to the finder ........

Typing this has made me realise .......in my old age ( if I get there ) one day I,ll have to disguard all my girly possessions to the garbage bin..........

I have been out to most the people I really care about. A few family members don't know (or let's say they prefer to not know). Like everyone here I think many would be surprised at the number of wigs and shoes as well as shall we say certain prosthetics. My biggest worry is when these people find out after I am gone they'll say Dam! She was HOT! and I won't get to hear it.

Yes I am selfish (refer to other threads)

When it's time for me to become worm food, I really don't care who knows what. When I'm dead, there's nothing they can say to hurt my feelings, ruin my life, or otherwise cause trouble for me.

My wife knows about me, so if she finds my girl-clothes, it won't be much of a surprise. She bought most of them for me. :heehee:

I don't have anything related at work, so no one there will think anything upon my passing.

I've asked my wife to have me dressed en femme with a closed casket funeral. She's cool with my crossdressing, but refused because of the potentially negative consequences it might bring should anyone want to look inside the casket (which I'm sure my family would), not to mention she's uncomfortable asking the morticians to dress me that way. I asked her to at least have me in my panties under my man-suit. She said she'll stuff a pair in my pocket during the wake and that's the best she could do. Oh well. I'll be dead, so I guess it really doesn't matter.

If I die in the near future, Gabrielle will be a woman only my wife and I knew. She'll live on in my wife's memories, and perhaps in some of yours. :) Of course, no way for anyone here to know I've passed, but I'd like to think you remembered me even if life just got too busy for me to visit at some point.

Before I die, I'd like to think I was able to make some positive impressions on people and hopefully reduce the social stigma associated with cding. Long way to go on that, so I hope my number isn't up any time soon.

mmmm...so ...what if?
Good question, and what would I want said about me..
Well since I enjoy life...and enjoy being feminine and masculine, maybe its time to have a fuller discussion with my spouse and two, maybe leave a note with my clothes in the event someone else discovers them.
I am reminded of the movie Death at a funeral!,
Very humourous but it does raise that point.

Also, I think i might want to right my obituary... be a little more humourous than the norm.
As one never knows.

This is something that I have given much thought to for a long time. I have taken measures to deal with this situation when it's time comes which it most certainly will. First of all I am retired so I have no issues with leaving anything 'inappropriate' at a work place. I have been out to my entire family for the past 14 years so they will not be surprised to learn of the things in my home that I will leave behind. I have only one son and I have told him of what to expect when he will have the task of going through my things when I am gone. I suspect that when this day comes he will be making a very large contribution to the local thrift store of which I have already designated. He is my sole heir so everything that I possess will become his.

There is no one in my family or immrdiate circle of friends who hasn't met Stacye or at least been told about her. No one would be the least bit suprised, shocked, or otherwise put off.

I have all my things in one place and I've given the same instuctions to two separate people on what to do with my things should something happen to me. One of the few benefits of bouts of suicidal thoughts, I guess.

Karren does manage to come up with nice cheerly thoughts, doesn't she?

My daughter doesn know and probably would be the one to clean out my house. However, I am sure she would be shocked at the sheer size of my female wardrobe! My computer room/office/bedroom has a large closet which is all Stephanie stuff. The dresser in the master bedroom is all Stephanie's and over half the closet in there is also Stephanie's. Besides all that there is 3 portable closets in the full basement that are full of Stephanie things, and 4 more portable closets and numerous boxes in a storage facility close by. I could probably outfit 5 or 6 ladies if they wore size 16 clothes and 10 medium shoes.

Oh well, I will be dead so what do I care!!

If not my wife, whoever ends up going thru my junk will be thinking "Didn't he have ANY male outfits?"
I don't really hide who I am so I am not worried about what they will think.

I believe it's a risk we take, to be seen for who we really are, since the moment we accept our feminine side; and personally I would like my loved ones to know there was more to me than the everyday guy.

I've thought about this about a thousand times. If anyone has a solution I haven't heard it, other than coming out while you're still breathing. I'm retired, but never kept incriminating stuff at the office when I was working. Home is a different matter. If I could only count on some warning, like "you only have six months to live", then I could purge in about five months and two weeks. Unfortunately the men in my family have a habit of popping off unexpectedly.

Years ago I had to go through my brother's stuff after he died. Given my history I was afraid of what I might find. I was shocked (pleasantly) to find absolutely nothing embarrassing. It was a lesson for me but one I obviously haven't taken to heart.

I have thought about this a few times but it hit home hard this week.... A dear friend and coworker passed away and has really torn our work group up... I'm still numb... But my boss was super busy today so I volunteered to clean out his office and pack up everything to take to his wife. NOT a fun job.... But he did not have a lot of things except a few personal things on his pc... I was burning some of his files to a CD when I came accross a subdirectory with a couple .... x-rated photos I'm sure his wife would not appreciate.. probably downloaded of the web... So I depeted them..

But this made me think... what if I passed away tommorow... what would my coworkers find in my office?

Well... there's a couple bags of fem clothing for those just-in-time crossdressing events including forms and lingerie and skirts and tops ... wigs... heels...... A fem jacket hanging on the back of my door... one of my makeup kits... lots of lotions... nail polish... a couple DVD's and jump drive full of my fem photos... It wouldn't take them a few minutes to completely figure out what was going on.... And if they packed them up and delivered them to my family...... Well I would be gone so I wouldn't care but what impact would that have on my family??
So how about you??

Hi Karren,
I just want to say, Great topic & definitely thought provoking!!
Yes, I have thought about it, more than once.

& So sorry to hear about your friend, my condolences go out to you and his family.

Hugs,
Karen

I don't have any sign of my female persona at work at all. All my cd'ing is done from home. An excellent thread though and it has crossed my mind in the past what might happen.

If I pass away before my time I'd like others to benefit from the rather large acumulation of clothing and footwear I've built up over the years.

I keep all my clothes etc in a large wardrobe in the garage which is protected with a combination lock.

So if you see that I have passed away I'd like you all to help yourselves!

The combination number is.........................

There is no one in my family or immrdiate circle of friends who hasn't met Stacye or at least been told about her. No one would be the least bit suprised, shocked, or otherwise put off..

Well, even though we dont get to talk that much I would be one of those people "put off" because i would lose a good friend :(

So, you know I live right around the corner and/or to call me... right?

*hugs to my sis*
