MJ Charles’ original book “Surviving the Business of Dying, a Guide to Why Final Papers Matter” speaks to her own experience, dealing with her late spouse’s estate matters without formal documents. The book reminds us of the details and priorities that must be assembled and completed before leaving this earth.
While her story reads like a letter to an old friend, MJ Charles points out that this guide is not intended to be a sad story. Rather, its purpose is a call to action for any adult who has yet to assemble their final wishes. The book begins that day in the ER, when questions were asked for which she had few answers. Midway through, the reader is reminded that they need not experience what they just read if they have a will. It’s that simple.
The question becomes, “Where do I start?” This is where “Surviving the Business of Dying” The Companion Workbook comes in.
