<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>An intimate, poignant, evocative guide to having inevitable end-of-life discussions.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Death is inevitable, and yet the vast majority of the developed world seems to want to ignore this fact and avoid the sad inevitability. However, death is an inevitability, and trying to avoid talking about it is a mistake.</b><br><p><i>Estimated Time of Departure</i> takes readers on a journey of one man and his family having these discussions and how powerfully loving and revealing they were. In this funny, moving, poignant memoir, William Donaldson tells the story of how he talked with his parents over an extended period about their end-of-life thoughts and philosophy. He shares the sad, funny, maddening, sweet, and rewarding sides of this journey and makes a compelling and impassioned plea to readers to not miss this opportunity. They were not without sadness and challenges, but by virtue of talking and exploring the topic, the family came closer together and the inevitable passing became, while still sad, a cathartic, deeply rewarding event. <i>Estimated Time of Departure</i> was written to give readers the courage to have these discussions and shows that hope, love, and reverence can be seen by having them.</p>
