Leaving Lightly’s thoughtful end-of-life planning program will guide you through creating a lasting legacy of compassion for the loved ones you leave behind.
Knowing your loved ones will be cared for after your passing is a compassionate gift not only to them, but to yourself. It's important to remember that after your passing, someone will need to tie up the loose ends of your life: closing bank accounts, paying debts, managing investments, distributing personal property, arranging final resting place details, organizing a memorial service, and notifying friends and family.
But first, they’ll need to find things.
How do they get into your phone or computer?
Where are your passwords?
Where are your essential documents kept?
These are just a few of the many details your loved ones will have to figure out after your passing. Without assistance from you, they will have to become detectives to figure out the details of your life, rather than the mourners they need to be.
Instead of struggling with paperwork and decisions, by taking away the “guess work” of figuring out what to do, your loved ones will be able to focus on celebrating your life. Having this in place will help comfort them during one of life’s most stressful events.
Through the Leaving Lightly program and materials, you will ease this burden on your loved ones by providing what they need so they don’t have to figure it out themselves.
