The time when a family member dies or becomes seriously ill, injured or disabled is a stressful and difficult period. Yet it's also a time when extremely important decisions must be made. Unfortunately, quite often the information required to make those decisions is known only by the deceased or seriously ill person. When that person hasn't communicated their wishes, family squabbles can erupt over how to care for the ill person or what to do with the deceased's possessions.

A Survivor's Journal is a portfolio of information and instructions you prepare to help your family make essential decisions after your death our during your recovery from a serious illness or injury. It contains crucial legal documents and directs your loved ones to important family, financial, property and other personal records. It explains your estate and what you want done with it. More important, it relieves the distress of emotional decisions during times of overwhelming grief. A Survivor's Journal is a final legacy that communicates your love long after you're gone.
