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:

Identify the people and things that are important to you and help you define and celebrate what gives your life meaning and purpose
Discover and define your goals and wishes regarding transitions, support, and the legacy you wish to leave behind
Understand important topics such as legal and medical documents, the continuum of care, and practical options to end of life decisions
Meet the professionals who can assist you as you put together your inventories for financial, legal, and practical matters
Explore your options and plan for rituals and celebrations regarding the end of life
Learn what needs to be done after death and how survivors can begin to piece their lives back together

The author takes you through a step-by-step process to create a personal guide that they and family members can use to understand and implement deeply personal aging and death-related decisions.
