Description
With hard-earned lessons and a sense of humor (one chapter title: "Let's Put the Fun Back in Funeral"), a professional speaker shares stories and tips on preparing for one's own demise and coping with a family member's dying and death. The book includes a glossary, an afterword' from her deceased father, and an invitation to readers to share stories for electronic sequels to the book.
