Do you feel like you need to "get your affairs in order" but don't really know what that means?
Are you worried about aging relatives and don't know how to talk with them about what they want?
Talking with estate lawyers and financial advisors and medical professionals can get confusing. And most of us only talk with a funeral director once we're already stressed out and grieving.
Dying Kindness is here to answer the questions you have now as well as those you didn't know you needed to ask.
I'll break down unfamiliar terminology, give you ways to tackle difficult decisions, and throw in some ridiculous conversation starters to help you get used to talking about all of this.

"you gave me the vocabulary, the information, and the courage to discuss death. you are a wonderful tour guide on the topic. your ease with the subject, your wealth of knowledge, and your kooky sense of humor combine perfectly to put the rest of us at ease while informing us on everything from cremain diamonds to TODs and everything in between. thanks!"

"having time to sit and think about all the aspects of death is something I wouldn't do on my own. Your course both stimulated thought and added information on the topic. Thank you."

"It felt good to be exposed to such a seriously taboo topic with rationality, commonality and HUMOR! Cianna's approach is wonderfully real."

Hi, I’m Cianna
For whatever reason, death has always been part of my life. I've known people of all ages who died from all different causes. Some deaths were expected, some were a sudden shock. Some felt peaceful and beautiful, while others left people reeling.
Through these experiences, I've noticed two consistent things: First, the more people were comfortable talking about death, the easier it was for them to recover from grief. Second, if the person who died left behind a mess then it made grief complicated and dragged things out.
My father was more in the second category, and when he and my stepmother died in 2019, I resolved to get my own affairs in order and to help others to the same.
It's not always easy to figure out what you need to do or where to start. This is where Dying Kindness comes in. My goal is to give you tools and resources so you feel prepared before you talk with a lawyer or doctor or financial planner. I'll answer questions you didn't know to ask, and help you make key decisions now – while you're clear headed – to make everything easier later.
Death is already hard. Let's not make it harder than it has to be.
