Do you plan to live forever? Do you ever plan to move? Depending on where you're going, you can't take it with you. In KICKING THE BUCKET LIST, death educator Gail Rubin brings a light touch to cleaning out those dark recesses of your home and organizing for end-of-life issues. In these pages, you’ll learn how to: tackle downsizing without being overwhelmed by the job; evaluate what to keep, toss, donate and recycle; creatively remove excess goods from your home; manage your finances for today and tomorrow; organize your funeral and create your legacy.
If you need guidance to downsize and organize, this book is for you. Baby Boomers facing their parents’ estates and their own downsizing will especially appreciate the information in KICKING THE BUCKET LIST.
The 128-page book, to be available in paperback and eBook formats, is a quick, easy read, with colorful photographs and bonus online information. Each of the 100 Bucket List items include links to helpful internet articles that expand on each point. The book, the eighth title in the Bucket List series, supports the work of the nonprofit National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and the National Hospice Foundation.

"Kicking the Bucket List" covers tackling downsizing without being overwhelmed by the job; evaluating what to keep, toss, donate and recycle; creatively removing excess goods from the home; manage finances for today and tomorrow; organizing for a funeral and creating a legacy. "Kicking the Bucket List" is especially appropriate for members of the Baby Boom generation who are now facing their parents estates and their own downsizing. Critique: "Kicking the Bucket List: 100 Downsizing & Organizing Things to Do Before You Die" is packed from cover to cover with practical, useful information. Thoroughly 'reader friendly' in organization and presentation, "Kicking the Bucket List" will prove an extraordinarily valued and appreciated addition to community library collections. For personal reading lists that "Kicking the Bucket List" is also available in a Kindle format ($7.99). It should be noted that "Kicking the Bucket List" is the eighth title in the Bucket List series, and supports the work of the nonprofit National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and the National Hospice Foundation. A Certified Thanatologist, Gail Rubin also writes The Family Plot Blog at www.AGoodGoodbye.com." "The connection between downsizing and death acceptance has never been more obvious. Clear your mind and conscience by sucking it up and doing the things Gail suggests." - Caitlin Doughty, author of the New York Times bestseller, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes and Other Lessons from the Crematory. "Kicking the Bucket List is a practical and fun guide that will help you get your things in order while preparing your mind and heart for the inevitable." - Steven Waldman, founder of LifePosts.com "This is a great, light book that helps the reader organize their life and their death.

Hartnett, J.D., LL.M., American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys "We are all moving on sooner or later -- either across town, across country or to the other side. You don't have to be terminally ill to take care of yourself, your stuff and your family affairs. Gail Rubin offers practical and not-so-widely thought-of ways of getting your "life's stuff" in order. The links to current web sites make this reference guide more expansive than the number of pages suggest." -- Lawrence M. Mandel, Funeral Director Concierge/Interfaith Wedding & Funeral Officiant
