Preplanning
We make plans for a vacation.
We make plans for retirement.
We make plans for the holidays.
We plan for so many of life's important moments... yet one conversation many of us avoid is the one that matters to every family: planning for the end of life.
Our colleague Sarah recently joined a podcast to talk about why end-of-life planning isn't about dwelling on death – it's about making things easier for the people you love. It's about ensuring your wishes are known, reducing stress during an emotional time, and giving your family the gift of clarity and peace of mind.
It's never too early to have the conversation.
