It might seem a bit morbid to fill out a journal expressly meant to guide and comfort your loved ones when you go, but anyone who's had to grieve without a final farewell will understand the role this book can play. In addition to helping you divvy up your possessions--why don't you decide who gets Great-Grandma's pink teapot and your prized pet piranha--the book has sections for you to record information about your "final arrangements," insurance policies, bank accounts, organ donation, will, and the like. The gathering of this data alone will save many a headache. But what your loved ones will truly cherish are the special individual notes you leave behind and the tales you weave about your life, your travels, your secrets, even your favorite books. --Jane Steinberg
