Want to start making your end-of-life resolutions but don’t know where to start? We’ve got you!

✍️Step 1: Grab a fresh journal and your favorite pen (a simple piece of paper and pen, your laptop, or notes app, are fine, too!).

🕰️Step 2: Set a timer for 20 minutes, and write about what your good death would be, and what needs to happen for you to achieve it.

✨Step 3: After 20 minutes, review what you wrote and make a short list of resolutions based on your thoughts.

Terminally ill New Yorkers deserve the right to make their own end-of-life decisions, with appropriate protections in place.

Most of us think about legacy only in moments of transition—after a loss, during a season of change, or when life asks us to pause and reflect. But reflecting on your legacy can be a powerful way to reconnect with who you are and what you hope your presence offers others. In this month’s Dear Doula, we explore meaningful ways to discover the legacy that already lives within you.
