Would you like to give your loved ones the most precious gift imaginable, but don’t even want to think about planning your own funeral? Do you find wills, trusts, and life insurance nearly as daunting as death itself? Are you too busy living to think about dying? If so, this book is for you. In Forever After, Paul James and Judith Hayes share personal experiences and insights in a light, sometimes humorous, manner in order to make funeral planning and death—which we all avoid thinking about, even though the death rate remains 100%—approachable, to stress the importance of advance directives, wills, and funeral planning, and to motivate you to plan ahead for your own passing. Forever After provides an easy-to-read, step-by-step approach that offers you practical knowledge, checklists, and fill-in-the blank forms to guide you in preparing for the inevitable. Forever After encourages you to plan today for your passing, so your loved ones aren’t forced to make agonizing and costly decisions when they are most vulnerable. A preplanned passing is your most precious gift.

A Preplanned Passing Is a Precious Gift

Forever After

A Cicero Workbook

Judith Hayes, the Erma Bombeck of the secular humanist community, has the unique ability to raise serious points while making us laugh as she throws buckets of cold water on the irrational beliefs and maddening inconsistencies that often characterise popular religion. She's at her best when recounting modern-day "miracles" such as the apparition of the Virgin Mary's face in a waffle at a Fresno diner; or when she describes how she started rubbing a stuffed penguin whenever she had the urge to pray, and got the same results. But there are also poignant stories about believing friends and acquaintances whose struggles with irrational beliefs in the face of perplexing dilemmas and personal tragedies are in many cases heartrending. She also devotes a chapter to explaining in clear, concise, layperson's terms exactly what humanism is and stands for, in particular extolling its tolerance. By turns funny, provocative, and touching, Judith Hayes is the perfect popular spokesperson for clear thinking and reason.
