A mother's guide to getting along without her

What to Do When I’m Gone: A Mother’s Wisdom to Her Daughter

While she was in her early twenties, illustrator/writer Hallie Bateman asked her mother Suzy Hopkins, to to record step-by-step instructions for Hallie to follow in the event of her mom’s death. What evolved was a mother’s guidance and support from beyond the grave, extending through days, months and years of life without her.

This guide covers issues great and small (choosing a life partner to baking a quiche) . Combined with Suzy’s words and Hallie’s colourful illustrations, What to Do When I’m Gone is a beautiful, touching, funny and practical look at love, life and loss; all of this and more, built as a guidebook for how to get along without your mom.

You can find this book on Amazon , Barnes & Noble , Indigo-Chapters as well as other book sellers
