We've had so many deaths in our family in the last several years, most from disease so with some time given to prepare. This book sounds perfect to help answer the difficult questions that often linger, as well as those of us whose time is shorter every day.

I hope I never have to make it for my husband or he for me. It was a mercy that my son's death was instant and not lingering, though I wish I'd been there for him. We so did not want him to go that day, but we could not justify not giving him a day off when he'd been working so hard to help my husband every day.

All I can say is that a good prayer life helps through some of these dark days and nights. When my brother passed away, I prayed that I would not have to make the decision to pull his plug and in His mercy, my brother's heart just slowly stopped beating.

I miss the days when all mail was delivered to my door. Now I have to walk a block to pick it up.

They wanted to make sure my brother and I would both be happy with it and not find anything to be bitter about. The death arrangements were also in place for my mom. I don't know about Dad, but I was with Mom when she dealt with the mortuary.

As you correctly assessed, thinking about death is not something I want to do. Therefore, planning for death and all of the legal documents is something I would rather avoid. However, I do have a will, etc. Still, I am certain I would cull a great deal of practical advice from the book based on what you have shared.Sylvestermousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13690700963857028874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-32908491785493528182017-02-01T08:00:17.623-06:002017-02-01T08:00:17.623-06:00Barbara, many years ago my dad faced the possibili...Barbara, many years ago my dad faced the possibility of death and he told me after surviving that time that the biggest thing he learned was to no longer 'fear' death. After our talk, I found I felt the same way. My parents made advance plans so that when the time DID come, the arrangements were very easy for the family to follow. This book sounds like a very practical plan for everyone Wednesday Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125647693828663780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-21608646122560462822017-02-01T03:53:18.662-06:002017-02-01T03:53:18.662-06:00Sounds like a good book to read for anyone but esp...Sounds like a good book to read for anyone but especially those who are dealing with a dying loved one. My aunt is dying right now so I think I will try to find this book about facing death for my cousin. Timely review, thank you.
