REVIEWS

Thank you so much for putting something like this together. I've always directed my children to the dreaded drawer where all of the information is. None of them want to look there. Now it will all be in a book. I'm buying them all one too.

As a fellow nurse, I work in hospice care and see daily how quickly death can create chaos for the living. I'd like to request 4 booklets...

Even though I have a living trust, I can't help but think this would be a wonderful "plain English" supplement to it.

Your booklet is terrific. I would like to order 3 more.

I lost my 42 year old son 3 years ago this month and the things I went through will forever be in my mind. No will...lots of debt…thank you for writing this book, which I am hoping the public will respond to and realize how difficult it is to get through the death of a loved one.

I'll be ordering additional ones. I realize I have both friends and family who could benefit from receiving a copy of the book. Each time something happens, it brings to the forefront the need to have the kind of information your book contains to be easily accessible.

I'd like to thank you for your book and hope you'll continue to push its use early on in a person's life. I bought one for my mother-in-law but apparently it was too late (she was already in her mid 80s). She didn't touch it. It was enough, though, for me to browse through it and ask her about burial instructions -- at least I learned that she wanted to be cremated. She died recently at age 86. There was immediate concern among the grandkids about cremating her and then what to do with the ashes. (I hadn't asked her about that part, so now we're getting an urn we don't want....). Just one more thing to consider. (Side note: she was a probate secretary for almost 3 decades, and she did have a trust, but burial instructions aren't a part of a trust.)

Her death also got me to take a look at our health care directives. I found out that my husband's was almost completely blank -- that is, no real direction was provided!

Thanks again for sharing your wisdom.

In April of this year, I lost a cousin I was very close to. He died unexpectedly of anaphylactic shock because of a reaction to medication he was taking. His wife called 911 and by the time the emergency folks arrived, he was dead. His throat closed and he couldn't breathe. It was a tragedy. I think his wife knew where to find everything, but she was so distraught that she could hardly function for a while. So many cases—all different—but needing the same kind of information.
