Why planning for death matters and isn’t THAT scary

Let’s talk about death and the importance of planning for each of our inevitable endings. In today’s episode of personal anecdotes and reflections, I share the significance of embracing impermanence, the necessity of advanced care planning, and the empowerment that comes from articulating one's wishes for end-of-life care and beyond.  Encouraging you to join me in starting to take steps into this process - that isn’t as scary as it seems. Including in getting creative as you express your desires for your funeral (trust me on this one, it's more fun than it sounds...).  Takeaways What's most important to you in those final moments? Everything in this life is impermanent. We need to be planning for our end of life. This process can be really empowering. There are lots of resources online to help you in dying and death planning.  Advanced Care Planning in the UK  Resources:  Hospice UK Advanced Care Planning UK Lasting Power of Attorney UK Disclaimer:  I am a coach and death doula, not a licensed therapist.
