"I read this book shortly after losing my father. His estate was well organized, yet the book still offered me several helpful tips to consider. Credit reporting, identity theft, junk mail, and the probate/estate process were among several of the topics I found helpful and interesting."

"In my role as manager of a large hospice bereavement services program, I had a ringside seat at the grief journey of hundreds of surviving spouses. My heart went out to them as they were plunged into a confusing world of immense and necessary decisions-precisely at a time when grief interferes with hearts, souls, and minds! This book is a lifeline, full of practical tips given with warmth and the lived experience of this author who has been there!"
