Sometimes I come upon a book that is not about processing grief but attends to the practical part of having to deal with the aftermath of death. This is that practical resource book. 

It has been helpful for a few of my clients' who, in the initial acute phases of grief, have had to make decisions about their loved one when it's so difficult to concentrate or focus. 

When Someone Dies: The Practical Guide to the Logistics of Death is written by an attorney who didn't want others to make the same "agonizing and costly" mistakes he made after his mother's death. 

Here's what he covers (which is included in the book description at Amazon)

  • Making funeral and memorial service arrangements

  • Writing an obituary

  • Estate planning

  • Contacting family and friends

  • Handling your loved one’s online footprint

  • Navigating probate

  • Dealing with finances, including trusts and taxation
