Although we may contemplate the grief that our life's impermanence would cause to our loved ones, we seldom consider the myriad of emotional and legal issues that can arise afterward.\nBefore All Is Said and Done begins with the experience of author Pat Miles Zimmerman and her husband, Charles Bucky Zimmerman. Pat and Bucky were fully set for life but, regrettably, not set for death. After Bucky's death from an abrupt and short illness, Pat found herself with a plate full of unanticipated emotions, decisions, and legal problems.\nBut, as she spoke with other widows, she learned she was not alone in finding herself adrift after losing a spouse. The shock and grief that erupt from such a loss do not create a state of mind fit for navigating the numerous challenges that follow an unexpected death.\nPat Miles Zimmerman will prepare us for the oft-ignored problems that run in tandem with somber situations:\nThe shock of loss and what to expect\nFacing a potential cognitive decline\nFinding support and healthy grieving\nFamily disputes and blended family issues\nCaring for yourself after the loss\nAlthough we may initially shirk away from the notion of our life's transience, it is powerfully beneficial to ready ourselves and our loved ones for every stage of life - and death. Before All Is Said and Done weaves the definitive path on how to be set for both.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0BZ6VWBD2\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0BZ6VWBD2.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Miles, Pat|Watson, Suzanne\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
