Welcome to Willow,
​​your end-of-life care, education and training portal for yourself, your family or your practice.

We humans know from a young age, that some day,  we’re going to die.

 

It’s the one thing in life we’re certain of, yet most people do everything in their power to avoid thinking about, talking about, let alone preparing for it. The vast majority of people don’t have any documents in place, because they live in a state of death denial, rather than death acceptance.

While public institutions offer many advance-care-planning resources, their questionnaires, forms and public-education efforts are just not working.

Allow Willow to guide you with heart-centered, end-of-life planning.

End-of-life planning is a phrase that represents the broad concept of planning ahead for the unpredictability of life and the inevitability of death.

Getting clear and communicating your priorities and wishes about your health and personal care, your legacy and after-death care as well as your finances and how you’ll be remembered, will go a long way toward creating peace of mind, and reducing anxiety, regret, and conflict.

It's not only about dying well, but also living well.

When you consciously contemplate and connect with others around the reality of your mortality, it will change how you live, right here, right now, and for the rest of your life. Whether you have days or decades left to live, the best time to prepare is now.

End-of-life planning education is an opportunity for personal growth and community connection.

With Willow’s heart-centered end-of-life education and training framework, you will be as prepared as possible for the inevitable, and live your remaining days with purpose and intention.
