150+… that is on average the number of decisions that must be made, questions answered, within 24 hours of a death. Must be made – meaning, there's no way to hit pause and take a breather, make sure you find time to eat lunch and walk the dog, even begin processing that someone who was there moments ago is no longer alive. Death is never easy. It's hard to feel like you are "ready" for any major moment in your life – your first day in a new job, saying "I do," the birth of your child, your water heater breaking, moving to a new town, realizing you can no longer live alone and need assisted living, finding out you have a terminal illness, the death of a loved one. For some of these, even though not "ready," we are prepared. We've planned, saved, thought about it, talked about it, have a foundation to stand on. But what about death? Ours? Our spouse's? Our parents?"A 2017 study in the journal Health Affairs found only one in three US adults have an advance directive, including a living will with end-of-life medical instructions, power of attorney naming a person responsible for last affairs, or both. Fewer have planned their actual funeral arrangements - only 21 percent of Americans have even spoken to their loved ones about their wishes, according to the National Funeral Directors Association." As a society – we are ill prepared for something each one of us will eventually experience. We have not begun to build that foundation of support. We have not even thought about what that foundation is made of. We will all one day stand at the crossroads of navigating the next step in a journey we know will end with a final chapter - ours, or our loved ones. It is a daunting task knowing how to navigate the various decisions that have to be made. That's where we step in, as experts in navigating the different organizations, institutions, and choices in front of you. We will learn about your unique situation and create a personalized plan to help you every step of the way.
