A
death in a family - or an impending death - is one of the most stressful
events in a life. Even though you intellectually know they're
gone - it's still an emotional trauma. Frequently survivors
can experience feelings of guilt or remorse - 'you should have been
nicer to the deceased' - 'communicated more often' - 'spent more
time with them' - etc.
It's normal - most people have similar feelings.

Discussion
Groups about
Recent, Past or Upcoming Deaths
One of the most productive ways to deal
with negative feelings is to discuss them
- with others who are having the same experiences - or who
have worked through them. It helps the healing process for
both parties. Here's a partial list of discussion topics -
or start your own topic. Open to laypersons - professional
counselors - after-death professionals.

E-Magazine about
Death and Dying Experiences
For many families, a death is now the third
largest single purchase they will make (behind a house and auto).
Deaths are serious business for survivors (and very
serious business for the after-death companies). The new breed
of funeral-cemetery sales people are aggressive and bright.
They live and survive with 'sales quotas'
(not a joke
- click
here to read).
Learn about new regulations and laws that
affect your family's funeral rights - and help control various
funeral sales practices.
Learn the latest funeral shams. Why Pre-Planning
your Final Arrangements is a very good idea;
Paying for them now - a very bad idea.
File online complaints for your specific area.

Free 'Thank
You' Cards for
Funeral Services Attendees
You know the Guest Registration Book
and 'Thank You' cards that you pay
the funeral home $50 to $150 dollars to provide. That's where
the funeral home gets their Sales Leads! When someone pays your
family the respect to attend - and signs the Registration Book
- you're signing them up for a future sales call to
sell a "Pre-Need" contract. And most of the new funeral home
folks are not soft sell.
There's a new way to say "Thank
You for Attending" - Free
E-cards.
E-cards are almost effortless to send
(you just provide the email address). Our Last Expense web servers
do the 'work for you - pay your postage'. Your Thank You card
is delivered instantly. There's even a place for a unique message.
