​The Leaving Lightly Book

Leaving Lightly: Getting Your Affairs in Order So All You Leave Behind is Love®

This is an easy-to-read paperback book that provides comprehensive education on the four subject areas of the program: recording personal information, health care and legal documents, post-mortem care, and preserving your stories and family history.  

The book is interspersed with real-life anecdotes of drama and trauma that occur when someone leaves a mess to clean up after their passing. But it also offers an example of what it looks like to leave lightly and spare the Clean Up Person (CUP®) the added grief of trying to figure out someone's life without input from them. That's the goal!

Price: $15 (plus shipping)
