About the Book

A death occurs about every twelve seconds in the United States, according to the US Census Bureau. What happens in the hours and days following a death is something most of us have no knowledge of. In Getting Smart about Death, author Jane Filetic changes that by sharing basic information that can make a world of difference.

Using an efficient, need-to-know manner, she covers such topics as: the four things needed immediately after a death occurs; ten helpful suggestions to consider when a death is imminent; answers to frequently asked questions following a death; the times in life when it is essential to express our own final wishes.

Getting Smart about Death is a simple, straightforward guide that will help you be prepared when a parent, spouse, partner, sibling, child, or best friend is nearing the end of life or has reached the end of life. Information is not just power; in the case of death, it is peace of mind.
