Dr. Kimberly Harms Helps Readers Prepare for Life’s Final Chapter in “Are You Ready?: How to Build a Legacy to Die For”

In a world where people meticulously plan for financial security, Dr. Kimberly Harms’ “Are You Ready?: How to Build a Legacy to Die For” shifts the focus to the emotional legacy left behind after one’s passing. This insightful book offers a much-needed perspective on how individuals can not only ensure their loved ones are financially secure but also emotionally prepared for life without them.

Dr. Harms, an experienced grief counselor, death doula, and published author, draws from her own profound experiences of loss to create a guide that goes beyond the practicalities of estate planning. “Are You Ready?” is divided into three key sections, each aimed at helping individuals build a legacy that leaves a meaningful impact on both the hearts and minds of their families.

Part One: The Foundation of a Positive Legacy
The first section encourages the development of positive legacies based on values such as love, peace, trust, education, and hard work. Through inspiring real-life stories of resilient individuals who have passed on these vital traits across generations, Dr. Harms shows how a life filled with purpose and compassion can lay the foundation for a lasting legacy. This part emphasizes the importance of nurturing qualities that will have a deep, long-term influence on future generations.

Part Two: Understanding Death and Life After
In the second section, Dr. Harms tackles the complex topic of death, asking whether it is a “grim or gentle reaper.” Drawing on research into near-death experiences and varying beliefs about life after death, this section offers a compassionate and thought-provoking exploration of mortality. By addressing different perspectives on the end of life, Dr. Harms provides readers with the understanding needed to make peace with the inevitable and to prepare loved ones for what lies ahead.

Part Three: The Legacy Workbook
The final section is a hands-on workbook designed to guide readers in preparing their families for a life without them. This section includes a detailed checklist of essential legacy documents, such as wills, healthcare directives, and password records, alongside an emotional life insurance plan. The workbook also provides templates for writing legacy letters, reconciliation letters, and letters that help survivors understand the mourning process. This unique approach goes beyond financial matters, ensuring emotional well-being during difficult times.

Dr. Harms’ message is clear: life’s end is unpredictable, and the time to prepare is now. “Are You Ready?” offers a roadmap for creating a legacy that helps loved ones not only survive but thrive after a loss. With this thoughtful guide, individuals can ensure they are ready to graduate from life with honors, knowing they have made a lasting emotional impact on those they hold dear—available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major online bookstore retailers.
