In this easy-to-read guide, her firsthand knowledge offers some of the most basic information needed to face the hours, days and weeks following a death. We don't talk a lot about funerals until we're faced with making big and fast decisions because someone we loved died...and we're left in charge. And in many cases, it's an overwhelming position to be in. I began writing this book over ten years ago to help give people a simple resource to refer to, so they don't feel so helpless. But in the busyness of life, other things took priority and my manuscript was set aside. Recently, a dear friend's husband died. I was able to answer questions and give her some direction in areas where she wasn't sure what to do. I dusted the cobwebs off my manuscript, printed some of the pages for her, and kicked myself for having let it set so long...because I knew how valuable a tool it would be for people in similar circumstances. This book is short and to the point...categorized to let you target topics as needed. I wish everyone would read at least the first section of the book on funerals BEFORE they're faced with a death. We never know what tomorrow holds for any of us. This knowledge can make a big difference!
