Planning is a kindness.
Dying Kindness provides education, tools, and support to help you make end-of-life decisions — before they become urgent.
You can ease their grief
by making it less complicated
When we die, we leave behind a complex mix of emotions, memories, assets, debts, and physical stuff. Sorting through all of that can be stressful and overwhelming, particularly when grieving. All this gets worse if big decisions need to be made and it’s not clear how to decide or whose responsibility it is.
We can make things easier for those we love by making key decisions ahead of time so they don’t have to.
That’s a Dying Kindness.

I’m going to die someday.
Spoiler alert: You will, too.
I’m Cianna Stewart. I’ve had a lot of death in my life and I know what it feels like when someone dies unprepared. It’s not good.
I don’t want to do that to the ones I love, and I don’t want you to, either.
So now I help people learn how to talk about death, to be thoughtful about the complex and often overwhelming decisions that are best made well before they’re needed.
