Why Wait for Eulogies: Joyful expressions on gratitude, life, and legacy with a circle of friends

Have you ever read an obituary or been to a memorial service and been moved by the tributes paid to friends, family, and loved ones? These are some of the most beautiful, thoughtfully articulated messages of gratitude about a person's impact on the lives of their loved ones. Yet, the person whose rich life is being celebrated often doesn't get to hear, enjoy, and cherish their impact. These ruminations along with ongoing conversations with her dear friend Suzanne (who is battling Stage 4 cancer) propelled Lakshmi to write notes of gratitude to ten women who enabled her life as an immigrant. Why Wait for Eulogies chronicles Lakshmi's experience in this journey and her witnessing first-hand how the expression of gratitude spills joy many times over. In doing so, Lakshmi urges people to celebrate love and friendship; to take the time to express gratitude to the people that matter in big ways and small, before it is too late.Why Wait for Eulogies is ultimately a joyful celebration of friendship, love, gratitude, and powerful themes that unite each of us. It is about the power of appreciation to open the door to vulnerable, honest conversations, and the ability for us to generate and spread joy each day
