Author
Beatrice Toney Bailey Releases Farewell My Friend, Guide For Care
Givers And
End Of Life Planning
Book serves as a comprehensive end of life planning guide for those who
wish to prepare for the death of a loved one including care takers,
caregivers, widows and widowers
Death is never
a question of
‘if’ but is rather a question of
‘when’. Nevertheless, very few people are really
adequately prepared when this moment comes. Details are the last thing
anyone wants to think about when dealing with the shock and the grief
resulting from the death of a loved one. Author Beatrice Toney Bailey
understands this, having recently lost her husband to cancer. Ms.
Bailey has released a new book entitled Farewell
My Friend.
The book is a step-by-step guide for those who wish to plan for the
inevitable, and is an extremely valuable resource for those who may be
called upon to act as caregiver or caretaker for terminally ill friends
or family members.
“Farewell
My
Friend,” stated Ms.
Bailey,
“is in fact a manual and a workbook. It should not be
something that is read and then set aside. I hope that this will become
a book that has lots of entries, catsup marks, donut icing and coffee
stains on the pages as the reader pours through the book, completing
the actions and forms. The book should be an active document that
readers will internalize as they prepare for the inevitable.”
A key point is there are plenty of action items a person can
implement NOW,
prior to
having to deal with any illness or sudden death in order to eliminate
the chaos normally associated with these situations.
Farewell
My Friend is filled with rock
solid advice, action plans, organizational structures, forms and step
by step instructions. No stone is left unturned here. Every facet of
planning and organization is covered in minute detail. The book covers
documentation, organization, legal matters, dealing with friends and
family, hospice care, life celebrations, service planning, remembrances
and everything in between.
Ms. Bailey’s husband passed away from cancer. During his
illness, she began a daily journal that eventually became a book. For
this reason, Farewell
My Friend
incorporates every conceivable facet of care giving and caretaking.
Estate planning, in-home care, funeral planning, dealing with doctors
and hospitals, wills, trusts, stress and even PTSD are covered in the
203 page, 8.5” X 11” manual. The book is written in
a practical and down-to-earth style that any reader can easily
understand and put to use immediately.
“Believe it or not,” stated Ms. Bailey,
“the book is actually filled with humor. I did not want this
to be another dry and very boring preparatory manual. Instead, I opted
to approach the subject of death in the same manner in which I approach
the subject of life – with a sense of celebration.”
An interview with Ms. Bailey can be heard by visiting The Authors Show
Radio at www.TheAuthorsShow.com. The show will run through July 18,
2009. The show is also on her website, www.farewellmyfriend.net.
Farewell
My Friend is available at
Amazon.com and at numerous sites listed on her website. Ms. Bailey is
