A no-squeemish approach to handling the death of a loved one

This is the end-all manual for dealing with the "little details" of death. Chapters on the unexpected death, preparing for an upcoming death or pre-planning to save your loved ones unnecessary hardship are concise and complete. The author takes a direct approach with his funeral workbooks. The information on pricing, purchasing and comparing coffins is a must for all of us who don't wish to be ripped off in our grief. We all will need this book someday.

If someone you loved has Alzheimer's - you should read this.

If you know nothing about Alzheimer's, and you're afraid to tackle the medical tomes...this is the book to start with. A short, to the point paperback that takes you through an understandable definition of the disease and the first steps you need to take for your loved on. The basics on caregiving are outlined, and how to get help including deciding on and choosing a nursing home. The author is a former director of an ALzheimer's research foundation and his extensive knowledge shows.
