Notes To My Family Ruthanne Koyama

Death, like taxes, can not be avoided, but unlike taxes we often don't leave a record of what the family should do will all our stuff. Stuff that I call "leavings". Because no matter where you spend your final days there will be leavings. Things you used right up until your final days, stuff you have in boxes that you meant give away that are now left behind for others to deal with. Personal things, like shoes, canes, hairbrushes and the list goes on. Stuff you family will have to deal with often while still grieving you loss. This book is a gift you can leave for your family to help them get through a very difficult time. The pain of your death is felt even more when all the friends and extended family have gone and they are left to deal with your leavings. It is journal with place to write, with prompts to guide you as you complete the pages and tick of the appropriate boxes that let your family know your final wishes about stuff that wasn't Will Worthy. It covers many things we take for granted and even things our family may not have been aware we did. Almost all of us these days has some online presence, we are on Facebook, belong to groups and share pictures on Instagram. Heck if you are here then you also have an account on Amazon. Access to these most often is not something you share, not because you don't want others to know. It is simply just what we do in this new age of technology we have all embraced. But some of these things have Papal or credit card information attached. Something some one needs to address and may not have considered. You will be promoted about these things and more in the is journal to make sure your family can easily take of these things while not tangible are still something you have left behind. Whether we acknowledge it or are even aware of it we all leave a digital footprint even in death. This book helps make sure it doesn't cause your family more grief. Knowing how access it is just as important as them knowing what you wanted done with those old shoes, clothes and other left overs. It will give your family comfort. And, yes even relief when you give them permission to just through something out.
