Have you ever thought...wow, wish I had thought of that? That's what I thought when I read an article about 73-year old Susan Soper, who has created the ObitKit, a guide to help you personalize the obituary process and create a written legacy.We were told in journalism school, that newspaper's entry level jobs required a stint writing obituaries. I opted for a public relations career but have been fascinated reading both obituaries and lengthy marriage announcements found in the NY Times and Washington Post.
Some obituarities capture someone's legacy perfectly and tell their own personal history while others gloss over their interests and life achievements. My morning can be inspired reading about someone's life's accomplishments and philosophy of living.
Susan's guide offers a fill in the blank format to compile the information your family will need and is geared to the boomer generation who she said seeks to control everything, not just till the end of our lives but beyond.
The ObitKit sells for $15.00 at http://www.obitkit.com/
