Bella Vita Books Gives the Gift of Preparedness
Online, December 16, 2010 (Newswire.com) - As a professional advisor, you well know the emotional impact and economic complications that arise when a loved one dies, and you understand how failure to plan for end-of-life issues can cause unnecessary turmoil.
Making important decisions about these matters requires the assistance of diligent and compassionate professionals such as financial planners, attorneys, insurance agents, and funeral directors. But organizing thoughts and facts can be difficult and leave both client and advisor frustrated and dissatisfied. Award-winning "Grant Me My Final Wish: A Personal Journal to Simplify Life's Inevitable Journey" is a wonderful guide for anyone who is attempting to record the information essential for productive consultation with professionals like you.
The book is a beautiful journal, sprinkled with inspirational quotes and poems. But despite its artistic design, it is very practical, comprehensive and straightforward in its presentation. Each of the thirteen segments include a helpful introductory paragraph to ease the reader/writer into filling in the blanks and recording personal thoughts, wishes, plans, instructions, and data. When completed, this journal is a well-organized compilation of basic information about medical wishes, bank accounts and insurance, location of important documents, people to notify, funeral arrangements, care for a beloved pet, and more.
"Grant Me My Final Wish" can also facilitate postmortem arrangements because it creates a record of essential information for caregivers and survivors, thus avoiding pandemonium in the wake of death. "When a loved one passes, there are incredible demands on the bereaved to make immediate and appropriate decisions at a time when mental clarity is significantly compromised," observes Renata Marie Vestevich, author of "Grant Me My Final Wish". "While overwhelmed with intense emotional grief, they face myriad tasks: funeral arrangements, people to contact, legal papers to locate, and an estate to settle. My book gives the survivors a place to start as they try to carry out their loved one's wishes and functions as a great complement to a last will and testament."
Lastly, "Grant Me My Final Wish" is an excellent place to record ethical will issues. Unlike ordinary wills, which mainly concern the disposition of one's material possessions at death, ethical wills focus on the non-material gifts-the values and life lessons that an individual wishes to pass on to others. The final chapter of this journal invites the reader/writer to reflect upon their own photographs, and important lessons. In this way, "Grant Me My Final Wish" can become an elegant and cherished family keepsake.
