We are often unprepared for death: our own or someone close
Is it procrastination, pain avoidance or death anxiety?
Whatever it is, we come chronically unprepared to our final chapter: the timeless advice “get your affairs in order” is oft heeded without time to complete. It’s the obvious stuff: the will, passwords, funeral arrangements.
Perhaps more importantly – we want to pass on the intangibles which become ever more precious as the day approaches: photos, essays, journals, memories.
What about those we leave behind?
Survivors can be left with inadequate information and guidance. There’s no checklist or process with helpful resources to handle the “to-dos” while processing grief.
We want to leave our closest connections with the means to cope and messages that can be shared after we’re gone.
