Recommendation

Combining editor Shoshana Berger’s communication skills with hospice doctor B.J. Miller’s medical knowledge, this reference guide to dying is essential reading. Well-organized and thorough, compassionate and wise, it covers planning your estate, coping with bad news, handling the costs of terminal illness, knowing what to expect in hospice care, and dealing with funeral and memorial options. Miller and Berger help you handle the details and the inevitable paperwork while offering practical compassion for your path.

Take-Aways

  • When planning ahead for your death, don’t leave a mess, leave a mark.
  • Death has its own paperwork. Do it in advance.
  • Dying doesn’t have to be expensive.
