Can you really be prepared for death, divorce, or other major life loss? Emotionally, maybe not. But logistically-definitely yes. In Later Is Too Late, Susan Alpert shares the poignant stories of 12 women (including herself) who struggled and ultimately triumphed in the face of loss-the death of a spouse, a sudden divorce, the incapacitation of a partner. This book also includes a series of easy, user-friendly, step-by-step worksheets to help you navigate your own sequence of preparation. A one-stop tool for practical and emotional support, Later Is Too Late covers all the topics that must be addressed when preparing for drastic change: household and family responsibilities; legal, financial, civic, and estate matters; the importance of self care; and the myriad of details that are too often overlooked, to disastrous results.
