Asking someone else to close down your life is a big deal and a pretty tricky one if you don’t give them a map to work with. That’s where End of Life Planning comes in.

"Um, did you say ‘End of Life Planning’? Not sure that’s my thing…" I sure did and I get it. It can seem a bit ‘icky’ (technical term). But that doesn’t mean it’s not important. Think of it this way – End of Life Planning is a way of being comfortable with answering the question:

"If I had died yesterday, what have I put in place to make things easier for those around me today?"

Think of it as tidying up ‘as you go’ so that there’s less mess for other people to deal with when the time comes. My approach is to plant TULIPS: Tidy Up... Leave Instructions... Plan Your Send-Off. End of Life Planning is for everyone and is best done when it’s not ‘needed’. It will bring you Peace of Mind now, and help give those around you Peace of Mind later.

I created Dockleaf Conversations to give people the tools, resources and support needed to make their End of Life Plan in a clear and simple way, so they can give their loved ones the knowledge and peace of mind they're looking for, at the time they need it most.
