You don’t need a diagnosis or a timeline to begin thinking about death planning. Often, the invitation arrives quietly—after a loss, during a major life transition, or in moments of simple curiosity about what you would want if you couldn’t speak for yourself. Death planning isn’t about inviting fear or finality; it’s about care, autonomy, and making things a little easier for the people we love. If you’ve felt that gentle nudge, you’re not behind—and you’re allowed to take this process slowly, one thoughtful step at a time.
