My Wishes Planning Guide

You’ve completed your Preparedness Check. Now turn your results into a plan. This free guide gives you one place to write down your care wishes, your decision maker, your final arrangements, and where your family can find what they’ll need.

Getting Started

Start with the section that matches your lowest score from the Preparedness Check. Each section lines up with one question, so you can work through them in any order and at your own pace. Fill in what you know, leave the rest for later, and finish by choosing three next steps with a date for each. Keep your completed guide somewhere safe, and tell someone you trust where to find it.

When You Want Support

Some of these pages are easy to fill in. Others, like naming what matters most or starting the conversation with your family, are harder to do alone. As a hospice nurse and trained end of life doula, I offer guided planning to help you and your family work through these decisions with care.
