Judith Lee Talks About What No One Wants
to Talk About with Lightness, Humor, and a
Great Deal of Practical Experience

Judith E. Lee is the authority on the pressing decisions people need to make at the worst possible time: when a friend or loved one is dying or has just died. Fortunately, this is not a situation most people will encounter often. And that's what makes it so challenging —we don't handle these things enough to get good at it.

Judith earned an MA in Psychology, with an emphasis on death and dying, while building a career in the nursing home industry. She wanted to be more knowledgeable in helping those with whom she came into contact. Over her years in that field, she observed the anguish and stress people went through upon the death of a loved one. Wracked with grief, these people were forced to make decisions they were simply not prepared for. The stories she tells are fascinating, poignant, and drive home the importance of knowing what to do when you are responsible for someone who is dying or has died.

It was these bewildered people, more than anything else, that motivated Judith to establish the Death & Dying Information Center, to make herself available as a resource person and speaker on the subject, and to write her first book, What To Do Before & After Someone Dies. In the book, and through other resources she has created to help people, Judith provides a step-by-step approach for getting through these demanding times with a minimum of stress. She has anticipated every possible situation and decision and set up a check list that can be filled out in advance or can be used to methodically take a grieving person through the process when each action is needed.

From being with a dying person to handling the final arrangements, from etiquette in dealing with cultural or religions concerns to what to say to grieving relatives, Judith knows it all, and explains how anyone can get the information quickly and clearly. She deals with this sensitive topic tastefully yet with lightness and even humor as appropriate. She is a great resource and has provided a profoundly valuable reference for everyone who has family or friends for whom they may become responsible.

Judith is an articulate writer and vivacious speaker who presents her ideas clearly and with caring. She divides her time between Hawaii and Los Angeles and is available to speak to groups or consult with individuals. Her book, What To Do Before & After Someone Dies: A practical guide to help you through the worst possible time for making important decisions, is a requirement for every home reference library.

Judith Lee is available for speaking engagements and book signings. She can be reached through the Death & Dying Information Center.
