The Last Things We Talk about: Your Guide to End of Life Transitions

By Elizabeth T. Boatwright

Book Overview

Whether we like it or not, we all die.

People avoid talking about death because it is too mysterious, too dark, and occasionally, as in the case of an accidental or other sudden death, too unpredictable. Because we do not discuss death and dying in our current culture, people are left to wrestle with large questions about death. This book is a place to start thinking about, and preparing for, this inevitable event.

The primary goal of The Last Things We Talk About is to help you affirm, celebrate, and remember the people and experiences you cherish in this life. It encourages you to seriously consider your death and take planning one step at a time, according to your schedule, and as your energy permits.

Let this book help you:
