Friends keep telling you to take care of yourself and to ask for help. But how? It’s hard to know what you even need, let alone how to ask for it.

“Megan’s skills as educator, pastor, and therapist are intertwined in her lovely presentation to you the reader. You are provided a rich array of resources to guide and support you if you are walking this journey. Megan skillfully weaves sample forms and scripts as well as to do lists and charts to helpfully track each step along the way. All of this paired with care for yourself and what you need in this massive reorientation process of grief and estate settlement.”

“Thank the universe for this book!!! A New Path: A Practical Workbook and Planner for the First Year of Grief and Settling Your Person’s Affairs is here and let’s all breathe a huge sigh of relief! This book is a much much needed resource in a world that, let’s be honest; doesn’t offer help or advice as to how in the actual hell to handle settling a dead (or dying) loved one’s affairs. Trying to settle an estate, handle medical decisions and bills, tie up alllllllllll the multitudes of financial responsibilities, etc. etc. ect. for another can be one of the most daunting, stressful, and downright hard things to do in life. All the while as you are most likely in the deepest hole of grief and the accompanying anxiety and brain fog. Can you say help???? Well…. …. Here it is…. This book offers the specific and precise help and actual advice you really need during this impossible time. The workbook layout is particularly useful in allowing you space and time to slow down the process appropriately so that you can remember to breathe. It is organized incredibly well, which grants your scattered facilities a chance to truly follow a plan and get tasks done. Yay! Get this book for yourself and every adult in your life, goooooo…. …!!!”
