I was with my fav lady the other day and she asked me 'How would I know if something happened to you?' Bit of background, we live about 70K apart, I'm older (65), in reasonable good health but you never know, there isn't another commonality in our lives (no one could tell her if I croaked or was seriously ill, couldn't ask anyone in my regular life to call her). Is there a deadman's switch like program where you can leave a message and if you don't check in on a predetermined time period, the message is sent to predetermined recipients?

I ask because she wanted to know and I would want to know if something happened to her. Just this last week I was calling or emailing her daily without a reply. Finally got hold of her yesterday but I had the local hospital number, the number of another friend of hers, and the number of a neighbour; I have a key to get into her apartment but not her building. I was set to call any or all to find her. Turned out her phone cord was damaged and her phone wasn't working. I was really concerned for her.

This lady is truly special to me and I want to be in her life and vice versa; the unknown of not having contact with her frightens me as her life has had a lot of hard knocks and one time she may not get up.
 
Write her a letter, put it in an addressed sealed envelope, and give to someone you trust to mail it in the event you are incapacitated.

Brilliant, problem solved!
