Death, with its profound finality and emotional weight, often catches us off guard, leaving survivors with a plethora of detailed tasks and decisions that must be made in the midst of grief and confusion. The heartfelt urgency that surrounds the topic of end-of-life planning and caring for aging parents or loved ones is the impetus for this guide. It's a subject that, for the most part, does not occupy much space in our daily thoughts. We tend to focus on the immediate tasks at hand rather than contemplating the inevitable end of life.
Before I Die is a toolkit designed to capture your wishes and vital information to assist you and your loved ones through the sunset of life. While it may be more convenient to skip or avoid certain pages, it is imperative to take the time to ensure you have gathered the right information. This preparation can make all the difference in facing whatever challenges may come. When we put things off, we run the risk of leaving our matters and our wishes in the hands of others. It's not fair to them, and it's not fair to you.
