A Good Homegoing: Preparing For Death and Legacy in an African American Family

0/5 ( ratings)

Black Lives Matter. Black Deaths Matter, too.

The most any one of us can hope for is a good death, but what is a good? It’s going in peace. Going without pain. Going without being a burden to the ones we love. Leaving some good behind.

Many in the African American community don't like to think or talk about the end, good or otherwise. So we die and leave a mess, or someone we love dies and leaves us a mess.

This book is a guide to help African Americans deal with what we in the culture call “transitioning,” or “homegoing.”

It is a guide to get assistance with the impact connected to the legal, financial, emotional, psychological and spiritual consequences of death. It’s a reality check for a community who historically were never allowed to invest in the future, because the daily maintenance of life was always precarious.

This book was written after over 30 years of experience, and it was done by people who knew that they had to prepare for their own transition.
