Death is never an easy thing to talk about. But it is an inevitable part of life. Pretending or hoping it will miss us out, somehow, can leave all kinds of problems for those left behind.
The one certainty we all face in life is death, and yet it’s probably a subject most of us avoid like the plague. Observing the consequences of unexpected family bereavements and the avoidable stress caused by leaving things undone set Marjie Sutton thinking about how to ‘do dying’ better. As she began to write, she found she was in fact talking about living better! LIVING TO FINISH WELL will hopefully encourage you to reflect and to take steps that will bring you more peace of mind and joy in living than you might expect.
Combining thoughtful guidance with practical advice, Marjie explores the consequences of leaving financial and property affairs, important decisions and family conversations unresolved, offering readers a valuable template and practical ‘to do’ list for putting things in order.
"On the whole people do great things with their lives, create amazing relationships with family, friends and colleagues and do their best to look after loved ones and the community and environment in which they live. We owe it to those that we love to let them leave behind the legacy great people deserve – Marjie’s book can only add to the chances of that becoming a reality."

"Whatever you think about this and ‘life after death’, it’s an important thing to consider, as you more realistically accept and embrace your own mortality. So, whether you need help in sorting out your finances, understanding the legal aspects, having tough conversations with your loved ones, or facing life’s big questions – this little book contains pearls of wisdom you would do well to treasure."

"A fascinating insight on a subject we will all face and enables its readers to navigate times of loss and grief, and all attendant issues in an easy and logical way."

"This small but powerful book contains much practical advice on how to put your affairs in order, not just to be prepared for death, but also to live a better life. The section on the importance of forgiveness touched me especially. Highly recommended!"
