What will I wear to your funeral? Kellie has many questions for her mother and very little time, Pamela was dying. Her children don’t think they can fulfil their promise to ‘let her go’. As they care for Pamela there is love, honesty, laughter in all the wrong places and the gift of goodbye.

Family,Memoir

Kellie's little girls are skipping in the waves, it's picture perfect. Instinctively she wants to call her mum but she's dead. Life without her is new. Kellie begins to reflect on the last year: a cancer diagnosis, a baby, bright lipsticks and the conversations that allowed her to let her mum go.

Kellie Curtain has a love of family, her tribe of women, good coffee, and red wine. A former Australian television news reporter, she wrote the book whilst living in the Middle East with her husband and four children. Kellie never imagined that she could or would write a book, let alone one about conversations with her dying mother. 'What will I wear to your funeral?' Is her first and (almost certainly) last.
