IF IT’S A FRIEND’S LOVED ONE . . .
I found Glenn Sonnenberg’s How Do You Empathize When the Grief Is Great? uncommonly wise and helpful.
IF IT’S YOU . . .
Larry Francis: “I’ve found a book, In Case you Get Hit by a Bus, that is SO helpful for how to organize your life and paperwork in case your life ends abruptly. It is an exhaustive but helpful list of things you might not have thought of. It has suggestions for solutions. BUT it doesn’t list the best place to put all the documents for someone trying to organize your life while you’re in a coma or a casket. The place I’ve found for that is fidsafe.com. It’s a FREE service of Fidelity and has been available for many years without any advertising or promotion. It’s easy to use and fits nicely with the ‘bus’ book. Documents are locked up and secure until the folks you designate get access. Too many features to list them all here — check it out.”
