An approachable, expert-fueled guide to dealing with the legal, financial, and logistical hurdles of a parent's death without losing your sense of humour.
Whether you ve recently lost a parent or you're just trying to plan for the toughest day of your life so far, you re probably experiencing a lot of dizzying emotions. Unfortunately, our legal and financial systems don t care about your feelings. Whether you re holding it together or falling apart, you are going to need to enter an overwhelming labyrinth of paperwork and bureaucracy. But you don t have to do it alone. After losing both parents, Becky Robison devoted herself to making death and postdeath logistics easier on others reading up on estate law, becoming a trained death doula, and starting the website DeadParentsWhatNow.com. She draws on her own experience, plus interviews with experts ranging from monument makers to morticians, to hold your hand through: -Asking your parents about their end-of-life wishes while you can -Getting a body buried, cremated, or donated to science -Planning a funeral. -Securing a death certificate - Dealing with your parent's property or debt -Handling even more tricky issues you never wanted to be in charge of -And still being able to laugh, a little, sometimes. Nothing about this is easy. The good news is you have someone on your side.
