Before Your Parents Rest In Peace... Do you remember all those kisses That were blown from your lips and tucked Inside my heart? They still have wings and flutter there.        -Dee Slavutin        from Immortal Kisses

Contemplating the eventual death of my parents, I began writing a guide that others may follow in preparation for the turbulence that invariably attends a parent's passing. Entitled Before Your Parents Rest in Peace: How To Celebrate Their Lives and Manage Their Death, this book examines the emotional, spiritual and financial tasks children may undertake as their parents' lives near conclusion. I call this groundwork "completion"...

• Making the transition from child to executor - coping with the paper trail
• Writing homages and ethical wills
• Facing the responsibility of inheritance
• Making arrangements before you need them
• Collecting parent memorabilia (their favorite... their lucky... their first...)

The process of being complete with one's parents - gestures of remembrance, reconciliation, forgiveness and the exchange of final tributes and blessings - is illustrated step-by-step in my book. Click here to order your copy, or to inquire about seminars or private consultations.
