The September Eleven impact started the thinking about sharing this information; a devastating health diagnosis gave birth to the book.; and events like Air France Flight 447 over the coast of Brazil,  the sudden departure of Michael Jackson; the many who disappeared during the earthquake in Haiti;  showed that the sudden departure of our  loved ones can cause unnecessary drama  for those left behind and faced with picking up the pieces, about which there is usually not a  clue.  This book was created to help us carry on with our lives when loved ones suddenly depart, or in the event that we depart suddenly.  It represents a road map of their or our lives.  It also helps those left behind to cope more effectively with any grief or depression that might have arisen.

"Sudden Departure Syndrome has become an epidemic in all nations today, whether from divorce and abandonment or death. Muriel Glasgow following decades of service at UNICEF provides the first “world publication” to heal the pain of Sudden Departures. Finally a cure as important as aspirin in the 1920’s for the modern pains that face us. We all are included in this book through some one we know and hug. RUN to the drug store and get SUDDEN DEPARTURE which like Chicken Soup or Mars and Venus Colliding, and my own recent TAPPING THE SOURCE, is sure to be a mega READ world wide" -. Berny Dohrmann,  Chairman www.ceospace.net, radio show host, bestselling author, movie producer.

Ms Glasgow's  constant travels made her extremely aware of her mortality.  This book was just an idea during that period, especially since there were colleagues who lost their lives while on duty, at times alone or far away from their families, leaving those behind with the task of filling in the pieces of their lives.  The earthquake in Haiti took the lives of many United Nations colleagues, in a split second.  Families and friends are looking into settling their affairs with some difficulty.

"These tips provide an essential aid to all UN personnel, who may be assigned to situations and locations in many parts of the world at short notice, where medical, legal and financial conditions may be deficient and international communications difficult to access. It would be especially useful if generous donors could be invited to fund translation into all the UN languages, at least, so that it could be part of a package of essential information given to all new staff members, both regular and technical advisers."
