John Mellencamp is preparing for a heartbreaking outcome.
Teddi Mellencamp revealed that her famous father has already started planning her burial amid her stage 4 cancer battle.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum, 43, said on Tuesday’s episode of her “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast that the 73-year-old rock star called her “11 times in a row” to discuss a morbid matter.
“Finally, I answer, I’m like, ‘I’m in the bath. Let me live a little.’ He goes, ‘I just want to make sure you’re going to be in our group family mausoleum,’ ” Teddi explained.
“He’s like, ‘Well, there’s going to be the top five and then we’re gonna have little areas around it, and then that’s where everyone’s going to get buried,’ ” Teddi shared.
After Teddi asked John if she needed to make that decision now, she said the “Hurts So Good” singer told her, “You’re doing your will right now, so you may as well put it in there.”

My mother reported an argument in the nineteen twenties between her father and his brother who wanted a loan.
Father: You won’t even have the money for your funeral.
Uncle: Just leave me in the Livingroom. I can stand it as long as you can.
Very sad. But I’m sure she could care less where she’s buried.
Interviewer to Bob Hope: Where would you like to be buried..
Bob Hope: Surprise me..
Safe ...and ......effective 💀
I like that.
Mom expressed interest in being buried in the family plot, a cousin donated her space as she “didn’t want to be anywhere near those people.”
Mom’s arrangements have been in place for years, she’s still going strong, physically.
Why would you badger someone going through the stress of terminal cancer with this. Yeah, it may eventually need to be done, but 11 calls in a row to someone obviously having a difficult time dealing with a very desperate situation?
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum detailed her and Edwin’s very different experiences with the deadly virus earlier this week. Teddi, who is fully vaccinated, revealed that Edwin chose not to receive the recommended shot, which he now deeply regrets.
“I was vaccinated and my husband was not, which he has since realized what a big mistake that was,” she shared on the August 2 episode of her podcast, Teddi Tea Pod, per the Daily Mail.

That was the point of my post.
Mellencamp has always had a reputation as being a jackass.....I guess this further confirms it.
He’s a liberal douchebag going decades back.
I’ve always liked his music despite his odious politics, but I wouldn’t wish the ordeal of burying a child on anyone.
My thought in reading that was that there are all kinds of sickness and not all are as visible as cancer. Decades ago, John might have been in line for some Thorazine.
My own Mom repeats herself on the phone, all the time, now. Aging does not go smoothly for everyone.

My grandmother and her two sisters had a brother who in the 1920s would have been called "a bum."
He boxed in his youth, and spent the rest of his life drinking. He reportedly lived at a YMCA downtown. A cop who was a family friend would occasionally check in on him or see him on the streets
they all chipped-in to some kind of insurance scheme to pay for his funeral.
He sounds like a real azzhole.
The first comment 🙄
IDIOTS such as these are the reason we cannot suppress this deadly virus and even stronger mutants are evolving. IDIOTS like these are actually continuing to endanger the lives of all others, vaccinated or not. IDIOTS like these are extremely selfish and do not grasp the concept of doing things for the sake of all humanity and others we care about, not just one’s self. IDIOTS like these should be denied stipends, stimulus checks or anything else. All of those things should be freely given to the people that HAVE complied with all that has been asked of us to help curtail the spread of the virus: people who worked from home, who masked, who properly socially distanced, who sanitized, who limited contact, WHO FOLLOWED THE RULES in spite of chastisement by the Trump Fiasco and, instead, listened to the actual scientific and medical experts and NOT the conspiracy theorists, and people who waited patiently to finally get the FREE vaccine!!! Imagine if people had taken this rebellious, ridiculous, stubborn, IGNORANT stance about the polio, small pox, mumps, measles, yellow fever, and other vaccines that have helped billions of people avoid those viruses and diseases. I just don’t get the ignorance, selfishness and resistance and never will.
"Unfortunately for Teddi, this was actually her second round with the virus as she revealed she had COVID “a while back” as well, which she kept quiet at the time so she could focus solely on her health. Not only is it fairly rare to catch the virus twice in such a short amount of time, but it’s also rare to contract COVID after receiving the vaccine."
Yeah, "rare to contract COVID after receiving the vaccine"...
...O M M O I R C O R N O I N C
“Music” you say?
Do you have an explanation for why Trump doesn’t share that extremist opinion?
Unfortunately, it is best to plan ahead.
I arranged for my husband’s cremation (his choice) before he died and before we knew the outcome - nine detailed pages of info I had to fill out. Crematorium told me they would keep the information on file for two years.
Really really eased things when the time came and made the entire process much smoother. I was glad everything was already in place, I was overwhelmed and had enough to deal with at that time.
