Publisher's Synopsis
24 Hours To Share What Really Matters is an easy-to-use little book designed for people to quickly think about what is important in their lives, write those things down, share them with family and friends, and then, if there's time, to act on those thoughts and beliefs. It's as much a guide to a quick trip through your life and the meaning of your life, as it is a book. 24 Hours To Share asks good questions and it's a prescription for these times- and you provide the answers. Nicci Meadow's 24 Hours To Share What Really Matters draws on Meadow's personal experiences with death and dying - "I almost died in 2002 and most of my family died before I was 50 years old." Meadow said "I wrote 24 Hours to Share What Really Matters in 2017 after the death of a childhood friend who passed away six months after a pancreatic cancer diagnosis. A week later, a 92-year-old friend shared with me that no one alive knew his life stories to even include in his eulogy or obituary." From these experiences Meadow came up with the idea that an easy-to-use booklet could be very helpful for people to quickly think about what is important in their lives, write those things down, share them and then, if there's time, act on those thoughts and beliefs. With the COVID-19 pandemic, 24 Hours To Share What Really Matters feels more relevant than ever, so she modified it a bit for the current situation the world is facing. Written in plain English, Meadow's 24 Hours To Share What Really Matters is needed now more than ever. Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker in the Boston Globe on April 16th warned citizens to not leave anything unsaid with loved ones during the Coronavirus. Meadow's 24 Hours To Share What Really Matters does even more- it helps you capture what is most important in your life, and do those things and say the things you need to say before you die- whether that's in the next 24 hours- or 24 months or 24 years.
