Have you ever experienced the confusion and conflict that happens when someone can't speak for themselves during a medical crisis? When opinions differ about "what they would have wanted"?
Have you experienced the expensive, divisive and overwhelming chaos when someone leaves behind a mess of papers and possessions with no guidance or plan?
In my almost 2 decades as a Professional Organizer - and in my personal life, I've seen it too many times.
If you don't name your medical proxy, who would be assigned by legal default to make critical decisions for you? A spouse in no condition to make tough choices? A parent in medical or mental decline? An adult child who lives states away? A sibling who doesn't share your values? Or emergency room staff who don't know you at all?
My name is Jennifer Phelps with Pushing Up Daisies - a fresh approach to transforming end-of-life planning from something to avoid like, well, like death, into a compassionate and empowering conversation.
I guide my clients to speak for themselves by completing their advance directives and communicating their wishes to loved ones today, to prevent confusion and conflict later.
There are Pushing Up Daisies programs for individuals, partners and medical proxies (in-person or anywhere by zoom), as well as helping organize and/or inventory your physical legacy.
Life is beautiful! It's also full of surprises.
So... get your affairs in order today and live your life boldly, joyfully and playfully with confidence and peace of mind, knowing your voice will be heard and your wishes honored when the time comes.
At your service, Jennifer Phelps
