Press Release Body: Washington, DC, July 18, 2008 -- Today,
http://www.thecheckoutline.org - the first-ever online advice column for the
terminally ill and those who are close to them - will appear with a bold new design
and a new easily accessible FORUM for readers to discuss their own issues. Launched
by award-winning Vanity Fair contributing editor, Judy Bachrach, Thecheckoutline.org
has, within one month of its arrival, met with enormous critical acclaim and huge
numbers of readers, many of them Boomers writing in for the kind of advice they
never imagined they'd need. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Bachrach, a
longtime hospice volunteer, answers questions from anyone needing help - not just
the critically ill, but their spouses, relatives, friends, lovers and co-workers.

Ms Bachrach is not alone in this venture; helping her are lawyers, doctors,
therapists, and fellow hospice volunteers. Because of her lengthy background in
journalism (she previously worked for both the Washington Post and the Washington
Star), she knows how to find answers to very difficult questions. She named her new
site TheCheckoutLine because it is the one area where no one's pushing really hard
to get to the front. In late May she received the Obit Writer Award for her tribute
to Ruth Graham (the remarkable wife of the evangelist Billy Graham), which appeared
on obit-mag.com.

Ms Bachrach felt compelled to launch her advice column because so many Boomers are
these days facing critical issues with little support. The most common and hardest
part of life - facing the death of a relative, a friend, or one's own happens to be
the very area where little help is offered. Hospitals ignore the problem, friends
and relatives often don't know what to do, and doctors seem embarrassed by their
inability to keep everyone alive forever.

Ms Bachrach has the ability to be the advocate of anyone who writes in: to call
around and find thoughtful answers on virtually any topic, emotional, legal, and
practical. In addition to her tri-weekly advice columns, every Wednesday she'll also
be blogging on such carefully researched issues as How to Tell Friends You're
Critically Ill, What To Put in Your Will (and leave out) and How to Plan a Really
Inexpensive Funeral. So ask away. Thecheckoutline.org will answer.
