Death Happens

No plan is still a plan, just not a good plan. Having a good plan helps it happen with dignity, integrity, and fairness.

Jo,

After I heard you speak at Heartlight Center, I purchased and read your book.

I enjoyed Good to Go—laughter through tears is great. After experiencing losing my parents and two older sisters, I’ve read a couple of grief books, but I like yours the best so far. Your book brought out some powerful emotions. Thanks for writing it. I will be good to go when the time comes; I now have a few ideas about my exit.

Thanks again for a glimpse into your world and experiences with loss, the humor and reality of dealing with death, the helpful way you wrote Good to Go and for bringing a new perspective to the whole process of death.

Best of luck on continued successes in your writing.

From Good to Go

“THAT WON’T HAPPEN in my family!”

I said that.

Who could foresee the day when my siblings and I would not get along with each other?

Nobody . . . until our last parent died.
