Summary

Of course, you don't want to think about dying! Inspired by the gifts of wisdom she received from her father as he faced his mortality, Johanna Munson delivers a hard-to-argue-with message: When we don't make arrangements to die thoughtfully, we leave our loved ones burdened by decisions we could have made ourselves. Living responsibly means we understand the implications of our choices. In Live Responsibly, Die Thoughtfully, the author empathetically poses a question we all grapple with: "Who among us wants to be responsible for causing more pain to those we hold dear?" Using her Living Responsibly Roadmap, Munson helps us make decisions we don't want to think about and, in the process, offers reassurances that there is a thoughtful way to die, and it's one that offers us peace and grace.
