Looking back and sharing special memories can be both rewarding and entertaining. This Guide is a beautiful workbook designed to help a person tell his or her life story. Page by page, it suggests topics--such as Family, Adult Life, Growing Older, and Reflections--and questions to consider. The questions can be helpful to the person sharing the memories, as well as provide other family members with a way to elicit stories and experiences. The suggested questions may also spark memories that go beyond the topics outlined in the book, which will only add to the richness of the completed story. The Guide also includes a section in which to record values that the person wishes to pass on to succeeding generations.

Living With Grief: Before and After the Death

"This book offers key insights into the intersection between death-related issues and cultural diversity in our society. We know that death-related issues take on many forms, but we may not appreciate that cultural diversity can express itself in multiple ways - here illustrated in examples including race, ethnicity, spirituality, social class, sexual orientation, and disabilities. As unique persons, as individuals in relationships, and as providers of hospice/palliative and other forms of care, it is critical to learn from the rich resources in this book in order to better understand and help ourselves, our fellow humans, and those we serve." - Charles Corr, former Chairperson of the International Work Group on Death, Dying, and Bereavement
