"Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now." ~Alan Lakein Steve's Story Steve has been married for 48 years. He always handled the household bills, and took care of all the banking, real estate and retirement accounts. But since his unexpected death, his wife, Linda, is overwhelmed. Of course she's grieving over Steve's passing. But, on top of that, She has absolutely no idea what bills need to paid, or even, when they are due. Mary's Story On the other side of town, 81-year-old Mary lives alone. After a long battle with a chronic heart condition, Mary comfortably passed away. Even though her two daughters live across the country, they were able to handle their mom's estate with much less grief. That's because, many years ago Mary had saved all her vital information in one convenient place. Preparing and Organizing Important Information for the Future Death is sure to happen. Yet, with proper planning, you can save your family a lot of hassle at a time when they have more than enough pain and grief to deal with. Long before she finally succumbed to her illness, Mary recorded all her vital information in one place and told her daughters where it could be found. She gave them names, contact information, account numbers, financial information, instructions for pets, messages for friends and next-of-kin. Everything she thought her heirs needed to know. On the other hand, Steve always managed all the household money matters. And, he never had discussions about them with Linda. No one but Steve knew where to find life insurance policies, deeds to real estate, or even who to talk to about the retirement accounts. Steve never expected that his wife would some day have to take over. His lack of planning has made a tough job even tougher for Linda.

Months later, a doctor and two nurses were arrested and accused of injecting some of those patients with life-ending drugs. Five Days at Memorial, the culmination of six years of reporting by Pulitzer Prize winner Sheri Fink, unspools the mystery, bringing us inside a hospital fighting for its life and into the most charged questions in health care: which patients should be prioritized, and can health care professionals ever be excused for hastening death? Transforming our understanding of human nature in crisis, Five Days at Memorial exposes the hidden dilemmas of end-of-life care and reveals how ill-prepared we are for large-scale disasters—and how we can do better.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The blogger behind Confessions of a Funeral Director—what Time magazine called a "must read"—reflects on mortality and the powerful lessons death holds for every one of us in this compassionate and thoughtful spiritual memoir that combines the humor and insight of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes with the poignancy and brevity of When Breath Becomes Air. We are a people who deeply fear death. While humans are biologically wired to evade death for as long as possible, we have become too adept at hiding from it, vilifying it, and—when it can be avoided no longer—letting the professionals take over. Sixth-generation funeral director Caleb Wilde understands this reticence and fear. He had planned to get as far away from the family business as possible. He wanted to make a difference in the world, and how could he do that if all the people he worked with were . . . dead? Slowly, he discovered that caring for the deceased and their loved ones was making a difference—in other people’s lives to be sure, but it also seemed to be saving his own. A spirituality of death began to emerge as he observed: The family who lovingly dressed their deceased father for his burial The act of embalming a little girl that offered a gift back to her grieving family The nursing home that honored a woman’s life by standing in procession as her body was taken away The funeral that united a conflicted community Through stories like these, told with equal parts humor and poignancy, Wilde offers an intimate look into the business and a new perspective on living and dying
