This was one of my random picks in new nonfiction at the library.A lot of the best books I read I find there. <br />This one, however is an important book. Reminds me a bit of "Passages" some four decades ago.charlotte ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10324853016206528194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486978550014792561.post-61104499602551717092011-01-07T06:23:52.155-08:002011-01-07T06:23:52.155-08:00Thank you, Charlotte.

This sounds like an important book for me to read. <br /><br />We discussed our plans with my son over Christmas--never an easy conversation for even a grown person to have with his parents. <br /><br />I certainly remember how reluctant my sister and I were about the conversations our own mother wanted to have with us--reluctant, because we truly did believe that she was immortal. But we were forever grateful for the careful planning that she did, and it was a great example for us.<br /><br />As I told my son, there are events throughout our lives that we look forward to and plan for. Although not looking forward to it, now that we are retired and somewhat comfortable, death is the next big thing we have to plan for. But your post has made me realize that the next big thing is our own care when we aren't able to do it ourselves. Thank you again.clairzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076402619649343527noreply@blogger.com
