The Story Behind the Book
“When my mother died in 2019, my sister and I spent days combing through her desk and file cabinets looking for insurance policies, the mysterious annuity that she’d mentioned, and most importantly, the little notebook where she recorded her passwords.
“We didn’t find her passwords and that made closing her utilities and other accounts a drawn-out procedure of faxing death certificates. An Ending Note with all of the useful details in one document would have made the process smoother.
“Many people we met during that time shared similar stories. Parents hid heirlooms for safekeeping and nobody ever found them; missing keys caused a lot of business for locksmiths; there were even family secrets unexpectedly revealed. At least we didn’t feel so alone; missing details seemed to be a common problem.
“Alongside rummaging for paperwork, my sister and I were managing the funeral and estate procedures without any idea what we were doing. We had a checklist we found on the Internet, but it wasn’t tailored to our needs. We made a lot of mistakes along the way. And that was in our home country in our native language.
“After returning to Japan, I imagined how difficult it will be for my American family to handle death procedures here when I shuffle off this mortal coil. And that’s why I put together the Ending Note and its companion book, the Family Guide. It’s for me, my sister, and all the foreign residents of Japan and their families.”
