Hey you know how I said I was going to make a workbook on the kind of bullshit you need to do when someone you love dies? I actually did that.
HERE IS THE VERSION WITH LOTS OF SWEARING AT THE USELESS, SHITTY SITUATION YOUāRE IN.
HERE IS THE VERSION WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF BLACK HUMOR BUT NO CURSEWORDS.
Featuring Helpful Sections such as:
Death Certificates ā What you need, why you need them, and how to get them
Prepare to spend a long and miserable time on the phone

Some Simple Dos and Donāts
Shitty Mad Libs ā Templates for writing Obituaries and Memorials
How to plan a non-religious death party
So you suddenly have to become some sort of hacker or some shit
This is an eighteen page book that you can print out, download, share, and give away; it is meant to be used to collect information about funeral planning and account management after a death OR you can use it BEFORE you die and give people information so theyāre not stuck playing Nancy Fucking Drew while trying to keep seventeen cousins who crawled out of the woodwork from gutting each other in front of the fucking casket as they argue about whoās inheriting grandmaās favorite dentures.
Itās not exactly cheerful and itās full of things that are probably going to feel really fucking raw if youāre processing a fresh death.
Iām sorry! I love you! Death is shitty! Iām trying to laugh about it a little and I hope you can laugh a little too because otherwise weāre all just going to cry together.
Good luck!
(in memory of my weirdo mother and her weirdo siblings who all died too fucking young and left me holding this flaming bag of dogshit)
This is so radically kind, thank you
Youāre welcome!
Life is short, kindness is what weāve got.
When my mom died it wasnāt exactly unexpected but it was still sooner than we all thought it would happen. It was a huge punch in the guts and the thought of making things and not being able to show her and share them with her still hurts but in that first month it was like drowning.
So I made this for her, and shared it with and showed it to other people who are hurting, because my momma didnāt raise a quitter but she sure did raise a softhearted fool who wants everyone to feel a little more loved and a little more worthy and a little less alone.
I love you. Take care. Be kind.
This is important, useful, and so very damn kind.
