In this conversation, Rusty Rosman shares her experiences with caregiving and the importance of pre-planning for death through her book, 'Two Envelopes.' She discusses families' emotional challenges during end-of-life decisions and emphasizes the need for clear communication and documentation of final wishes. Rusty introduces the concept of two envelopes: one for immediate actions after death and another for post-funeral instructions, highlighting the significance of leaving a legacy and ensuring loved ones are prepared. We share insights on navigating grief, family dynamics, and the importance of preparation for end-of-life decisions. She discusses the challenges families face when dealing with loss, the fears surrounding death, and how to find purpose in later life. Rusty emphasizes the significance of communication and planning to avoid conflicts over generational wealth and possessions.
Rusty Rosman is the author of the book “Two Envelopes.” She spent years helping her parents and her in-laws as they aged. Over the years, Rusty saw many friends and their families conflicted over final arrangements and family confrontations. After making sure her parents updated their estate planning, Rusty encouraged them to write out their final wishes for their funerals and mourning period and then what they wanted done with their belongings that weren’t covered in their legal documents.
Rusty is one of four children. Having her parents put their wishes in writing made the heartbreaking experience of a parent’s death much easier for all four of them to navigate. From that experience, her book, “Two Envelopes,” was born.
