This book is different. It is a BIG and BOUNTIFUL reference
guide in two volumes for anyone with the wisdom and loving kindness to make
end-of-life decisions while fully alive.
Instead of a cursory overview of some aspects of funerary management, it provides details pertaining
to every element a pre-planner
might want to consider. Symbolic
representations are key components, prompting an exploration of one’s characteristics
as determinants of personal preferences and potential arrangements.
It is designed with reverence
for the painful reality of inevitable death while offering an upbeat event
planning perspective. Family needs are addressed in
conjunction with the sense of satisfaction that can be derived from planning
ahead and having a say in the matter.
Novel ideas and modern innovations
enlivening the funeral industry pervade the content, which also encompasses detailed
descriptions of conventional approaches and familiar products.
Whimsical threads are woven
through practical matters, based on a presumption that someone is more apt to
broach a formidable topic if it is peppered with entertainment.
Utilitarian content is
interspersed periodically with offbeat vignettes for spirit refreshment and promotion
of comfort. Such asides either
exemplify main points or simply dot the domain with streaks of colorful invigoration. Other inserts serve the same purpose,
with rhyming quips, fun exercises, and the presence of multiple frog
illustrations as a reminder that this resource is about “croaking.” That is, learning about end-of-life options
will enable communication and an opportunity to make one’s voice heard before
it is too late. A planner will be
endowed with a chance to bestow upon family members the ultimate gift of guidance.
A journey through this
compendium could be regarded as a recreational retreat, within a playground of
figurative word structures in the form of analogies, metaphors, and idioms. The text is suffused with double
meanings, occasional fantasy images, and even some sexual inferences for added
pizzazz.
Upon reaching the end of
this book, a reader is apt to have discovered the joy of individuality,
especially in this context of choosing relevant ways to leave life in a manner
best suited to oneself. The
underlying goal of adopting personalized approaches is apt to invoke a desire
to recognize and celebrate the uniqueness of one’s own life. And reluctantly mortal “NAYsayers” will assuredly be transformed into prepared “YEAHsayers”!
