Serving with Rick in the military and knowing him and Bea for many years it was a shock to see this man, my best buddy, going through this. Bea dealt with and then wrote about this whole ordeal in a very loving and understanding way that I am not sure I could do. In her book she covers all aspects of losing a loved one and how to be prepared for when the end comes. Her charts and forms simplify what otherwise could be a very confusing and complicated time. Thanks, Bea.
Farewell My Friend
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book is a must for anyone who has become a caretaker of a loved one. It doesn't just tell you how to think about handling your emotions and feelings about what is going on. It gives very specific instructions on how to handle all of the services and legal paperwork that needs to be done. I most appreciated the humor and personal experience of this woman. She was an angel to her husband in his passing.

Practical and emotional handbook
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is a wonderful book, full of great practical advice by someone who has been there, conveyed through a wonderfully upbeat approach to the subject. Beatrice shares her emotions openly as she moves through the difficult process of caring for a dying spouse. I've already sent copies to friends in similar circumstances. Her Excel spreadsheets are worth the price of the book all by themselves. R2
