Creating a Legacy of Love: Preparing for the Inevitable with Catherine Turner

It's lifted a great burden and we all will feel like you know how you can have clutter sitting in a corner.
Death is a topic many of us shy away from, but in this episode of 'Affliction & Resilience', Judy L. Mandel dives into it headfirst with guest Catherine Turner. Catherine's new book, 'Create a Legacy of Love: Everything Your Loved Ones Need to Know (When you can no longer tell them)', offers a heartfelt guide to preparing for the inevitable.
But this isn't just about paperwork; it's about creating a lasting legacy for your loved ones, easing their burden when the time comes. Catherine opens up about her own devastating loss—losing her baby just days before his due date—and how that tragedy reshaped her perspective on motherhood and resilience. She found strength and joy in raising her two subsequent children, a journey that added depth to her understanding of love and loss.
One of the key takeaways from their conversation is the importance of organizing personal belongings and memories. Catherine emphasizes naming items and having honest conversations with family members about who gets what. This not only preserves memories but also prevents future conflicts. They also discuss practical matters often overlooked, like pet care and writing your own eulogy. Catherine's approach is both compassionate and practical, aiming to provide peace of mind for those left behind.
She encourages everyone to talk openly with their families about end-of-life plans, ensuring that pets are cared for and final wishes are known. This episode is a blend of inspiration and practical advice, offering support for anyone grappling with grief or looking to prepare their loved ones for the future. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that will leave you feeling hopeful and empowered to create your own legacy of love.
