END OF LIFE PLANNING

Leave Behind Love

It can be a lot to plan for your estate, finances, or future health care. To think about where everything is and where everything will go. To factor in loved ones and contingency plans. To think about what matters most to everyone involved. To decide what you want if you can't speak for yourself. 

Whether you’re getting your affairs in order or helping other people with theirs, I’m here to help you through it.

When my dad passed away, my family and I were left in a messy space—tackling funeral arrangements and financial matters while struggling to navigate overwhelming grief. Even while my dad was on hospice, we were left with making difficult decisions that we painfully second guessed whether he wanted for himself. My situation is not unique, and when I shared this with Ka Yun, she provided a safe space for me to unravel the mess of emotions I still experience with the loss of my dad and understood how important it is for me to ensure my mom’s affairs are in order before her time comes. To have her facilitate these tough discussions will be invaluable for our family in the future.

What I appreciate about Ka Yun is her openness talking about something most people don’t want to talk about. She approaches the topic of one’s death with warmth and compassion and is genuinely invested in understanding you or your loved one’s unique needs. Death is extremely personal and it can be scary to be so vulnerable but she makes sure you are heard and supported with zero judgment.

Talking with Ka Yun gave me the tools to talk with my family about our dad’s wishes for when he passes. She also got me thinking about how to navigate my own affairs while mapping any concerns to the current state of trans rights.

Ka Yun provided a comforting ear and helped me sort through some of the uncomfortable and scary questions and logistics when my elderly kitty passed away. She brings a breath of humanity and fresh air in discussing the otherwise stuffy and legal aspects of planning what you want to leave behind, and how to allocate your resources, while helping navigate the paperwork to plan ahead.
