Have you ever wondered what Mom and Dad were doing behind closed doors? That grown-up stuff? Let's imagine the worst for a second, no, not that! (we promise it won't be too grim) You are on a trip to a beautiful location with a beach, margaritas, and blue waters as far as you can see. When you unexpectedly have an allergic reaction to something in that gorgeous blue water. What far-fetched? You would think so, but statistics show that 15% fall ill while vacationing; now, back to that unexpected event if you cannot speak or decide. Who steps in for you? That happens behind closed doors; Mom and Dad are trying to figure it all out, ensuring they will advocate for each other. At least, that is our hope. But what happens as an adult without an end of life planning?

Choosing a decision maker is about ticking a box and ensuring your voice is heard and your wishes are respected. Now, let us revisit that beach, that unexpected event. Did you pack your Power of Attorney? Did you have the conversation behind closed doors like Mom and Dad? Having a digital tool like Exit Life Ready access to the important stuff when you need it the most is what we thought when we created EXIT Life Ready., our digital vault, our app to support end of life planning. The app allows you to have your end of life planning done digitally, store your legacy video and family recipes and allow you to upload your power of attorney to be accessed digitally and more.

We get it; it is more fun behind closed doors to enjoy the other stuff; in reality, we cannot avoid the tough conversations forever. Your decision may have conflicting opinions or arguments; it is your story, your journey. Avoiding the conversation will make it harder, not easier, on your loved one. Also, would not you want to be control of your legacy, by having proper legacy planning you can be. Be the future-planning generation that wants control and not chaos; download the EXIT life ready app if you have not already and plan for that next trip, not just sunscreen and flip-flops.

Until next time...
