Every day, more US citizens talk about living in Mexico. There is less conversation around dying in Mexico. This book changes that. Talking about death, and planning for it, can inspire us to live with greater peace and purpose. These are likely the very same values that compelled you to move to Mexico. Live more fully in Mexico by directly addressing your wishes for end of life there.

If you have already made end-of-life plans in the US, learn why you need to do the same for Mexico, and how.
