this is the classical topic where, after it happens (death of someone), people always say "I wished I knew....". The book is a "no-brainer", the hard part is taking the first step. I got mine as a gift & it is so easy.

The issues the author raises are extremely thought provoking, some I have pondered, some never considered. My thughts are meaningless,unless recorded.Actually doing something concrete now seems more like a gift to my family and less like a morbid preoccupation. Thanks
