“Has someone you love
just died?

Are you wondering
what to do next?”

If you answered "Yes", you may find your answers here...

Dear Reader,

Does this describe you?

1. You have just lost (or are soon to lose) someone you care about very much.
   
2. You are faced with having to organize an event of great emotional significance -- the funeral -- at a time when you are under enormous stress.
   
3. You are determined to honor this person you've loved in a very special way ... and aren't sure where to begin.
   
4. You are overwhelmed at all the practical, legal, and financial decisions arising out of this death ... all of which are now on your shoulders.

I've been there, too....

On March 13, 1984 at 6:13 in the morning, I awoke to the long-feared phone call. My grandmother, Jennie Sutherland Lindsay, was dead at the age of 93.

Although we had known for many months that Grandma was dying, her death still came as a profound shock. What's worse, we were completely unprepared. Suddenly a mountain of difficult decisions and phone calls had to be made ... immediately.

Will you know what to do?

Most people don't know what to do, and ― just as unsettling ― they don't know how to behave in the face of death. When the death comes, you as a survivor must not only cope with your grief, but at the same time organize a major event, the funeral, which carries great significance ... not just emotional, but social and financial as well.

What should you do first? And then what? How do you cope with the urgent decisions and details to be handled now and in the days and weeks ahead?

At the time, I had no answers for those questions. That's why I later wrote the book Saying Goodbye with Love ... as a down-to-earth guidebook for survivors like you and me.

Since Grandma's death, I've also experienced the deaths of my sister, Toni; cousin, Bob; friend, Paul; and most recently, my father.

Because I used to be a technical writer ― writing "how-to" manuals ― it was natural for me to organize all the tasks that need to be completed after a death ... and to put them into a step-by-step order that anyone can follow.

Now, let me ask you.... Are you someone who always prepares in advance?

If so, you'll appreciate being able to use Saying Goodbye with Love and the forms in The Funeral Tool Kit (included with your eBook) to make your funeral plans in advance.

On the other hand, if you're like me ... often leaving things til the last minute ... this eBook will guide you step by step through the details of death, right in the middle of the crisis.

Here's how I know that....

When my Dad died a couple of years ago ... after several years of failing health ... my Mom and I weren't ready.

We certainly knew that his death was coming ... and here I was the author of a book on how to prepare for a death in the family ... and we STILL weren't ready.

I had to pull out a copy of my own book and work through it all in the midst of the shock and chaos.

You see, even though I wrote the book myself ... and have updated it many times ... when I'm in the middle of a crisis, I'm not thinking straight.

I need the structure and "clear thinking" that I get from the checklists in Saying Goodbye with Love ... and the forms in The Funeral Tool Kit.

Does that make sense?

If you (or someone you know) will be responsible for handling the practical, legal and financial decisions that accompany a death in the family, I invite you to use this eBook as a roadmap out of the chaos.

And if you have some suggestions that might help future readers of this eBook, I'd love to hear from you.

Yours sincerely,

Everything you need to know ... to make good decisions at this difficult time

With Saying Goodbye with Love by your side, you’ll be able to overcome the biggest challenges of the newly bereaved:

You'll lose your fear of the unknown

Many of the decisions and details surrounding death are completely foreign to most of us. If you have never had to choose a casket, or plan a funeral service, or claim insurance benefits, the fear of “doing it wrong” can be overwhelming. The straightforward information and reassurance in Saying Goodbye with Love will relieve many of your fears.

You'll reduce your stress level

At the top of the standard rating scale used by psychologists to rate stressful life events is the death of a close family member.

Much of the stress comes from a feeling of “falling apart,” being unable to cope with the practical details. This book’s checklists will provide a structure to help you cope with these details. As well, the completed sections will give you a record of your progress through the stages of the crisis.

You'll minimize the risk of regrets

Once life begins to return to normal, the survivors often have regrets. Perhaps they wish they’d organized the funeral differently (“We should have had them play that old Vera Lynn song that Dad always loved”) or made different financial arrangements (“If only I’d known how much everything would cost”) or written something more personal for the obituary.

Because this guide includes so much concrete information and so many examples, you will be more likely to make choices that both salute the deceased and make your own future more workable.

Consider this: The dead are not in pain, but the living are. It’s important for the survivors to receive help and comfort while going through the ceremonies of death. My goal is to bring you knowledge of what your options are, and a realization that no matter what decisions you make, you are doing your very best.

Here is your chance to honor the one you have loved — by making the service a celebration of their life, and by grieving them well so you can get on with the rest of your life. You will survive. And it is right and natural that you do so. My heart goes out to you now.

What Do You Find the Hardest About Coping with This Death?

Let me ask you ... Which of these common fears and questions are you struggling with, as you think about all the responsibilities facing you today?

I don't want a "canned" funeral. This service must be unique and personal

I don't know how to write a good obituary

Is it better to have a burial or cremation?

How much will all this cost? Is there any way to keep costs down?

What things will I need to take care of after the funeral?

I just want to know how to make things easier for my own family, after I go.

If you checked any of the boxes above, then you probably are someone who wants to take a strong, active role in this experience.

Wouldn't it be comforting to have instant access to a simple, step-by-step guide that answers all these questions and more.
