In "What to Do When I'm Gone," Suzy Hopkins and Hallie Bateman embark on a profoundly touching journey that explores the uncharted territories of life after loss, weaving together a manual of living that is as practical as it is heartwarming. Through a series of instructions that range from the simplicity of making fajitas to the complex art of choosing a life partner, Hopkins imparts wisdom to her daughter, Bateman, for a future without her physical presence. Illustrated with Bateman's vibrant and whimsical art, this book captures the essence of a mother's love and the enduring strength it provides, even in absence. Beyond a mere guide, this book unfolds as a poignant conversation between mother and daughter, brimming with humor, openness, and gratitude. It is a testament to the power of legacy and the unbreakable bond between parent and child. As readers navigate through Hopkins' advice, they will find themselves laughing, shedding tears, and, most importantly, taking to heart the profound simplicity of living and loving fully. "What to Do When I'm Gone" is not just a manual for the inevitable but a celebration of the moments we share, a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone who has ever loved, lost, or both.

Moving and beautifully written. - Arianna Huffington
The earth would continue to spin, and I'd be left in a world without her. My map would be gone. The ground beneath my feet would be gone. Who could I call to ask how to cook a potato? Who would listen to me talk about my work for more than five minutes? Who would tell me everything? Who would forgive me for everything? How could I possibly navigate this world without the person who brought me into it?
— Suzy Hopkins, What to Do When I'm Gone
