The Calm Crossing Workbook
A gentle place to put everything your family would otherwise have to guess at.
This workbook helps you get your wishes, information, and instructions out of your head and into one calm, organized place — before a loss, after a loss, or anywhere in between.
No pressure.
No timelines.
No “do this or else.”
Just clarity, at your pace.

This workbook helps you get your wishes, information, and instructions out of your head and into one calm, organized place — before a loss, after a loss, or anywhere in between.
No pressure.

To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.

Who this is for:
The Calm Crossing Workbook is for you if:
You know these conversations matter, but you keep putting them off
You want your family to be okay if something unexpected happens
Someone you love has already died and you don’t know where to start
You’re carrying too much in your head
You don’t need to be “ready.”
You just need a place to begin.
What this workbook actually helps you do
The Calm Crossing Workbook guides you through:
Clarify medical and care wishes
Organize passwords, accounts, and documents
Write down instructions your family would otherwise scramble to find
Prepare while you’re healthy — without making it feel morbid
Navigate the first days and months after a death, if that’s where you are
You can skip sections.
You can move slowly.
Nothing here requires perfection.
How it’s different
Most end-of-life resources stop at paperwork — or start only after someone dies.
This workbook does both.
It was built from lived experience, for real families, and designed to be used:
proactively
reactively
or in the middle, when things feel unclear
This is not a checklist.
It’s a calm guide.
How people use the workbook
There’s no right way.
Some people work through it slowly.
Some use it to start conversations.
Some open it after a loss and take it one page at a time.
You’re allowed to go gently.
What you’ll walk away with
One clear place for everything that matters
Fewer unanswered questions for the people you love
Less fear about “what if something happens”
The ability to close your laptop and breathe again
A brief note
The Calm Crossing Workbook isn’t legal or medical advice.
It helps you get fully organized and clear so conversations with attorneys, doctors, or family members are calmer and easier.

Who this is for:
The Calm Crossing Workbook is for you if:
You know these conversations matter, but you keep putting them off
You want your family to be okay if something unexpected happens
Someone you love has already died and you don’t know where to start
You’re tired of carrying all this in your head
You want to do this once, thoughtfully, instead of in a panic later
You don’t need to be sick.
You don’t need to be “ready.”
You just need a place to begin.
What this workbook actually helps you do
The Calm Crossing Workbook guides you through:
Clarifying medical, care, and end-of-life wishes
Organizing passwords, accounts, subscriptions, and documents
Writing down instructions your family would otherwise scramble to find
Preparing while you’re healthy — without making it feel morbid
Navigating the first days and months after a death, if that’s where you are now
You can skip sections that don’t apply.
You can come back to it as life changes.
Nothing here requires perfection.
How it’s different
Most end-of-life resources stop at paperwork — or start only after someone dies.
The Calm Crossing Workbook does both.
It was built by someone who has:
had the conversations
cleaned out the apartments
searched for passwords at 2 a.m.
raised children through loss
and wished, desperately, that something like this existed sooner
This is not a checklist.
It’s not legal advice.
It’s not therapy.
It’s a calm, human guide through one of the hardest parts of loving people.
How people use the workbook
There’s no “right” way to use it.
Some people:
work through it slowly over weeks or months
use it as a starting point for family conversations
fill it out after a loss, one small section at a time
complete it once, then revisit it yearly
You’re allowed to go gently.
What you’ll walk away with
One clear place for everything that matters
Fewer unanswered questions for the people you love
Less fear about “what if something happens”
Confidence that you didn’t leave chaos behind
The ability to close your laptop and breathe again
What this isn’t
The Calm Crossing Workbook is not a replacement for an attorney, hospice, or medical provider.
It helps you get fully organized and clear so that when legal or medical conversations happen, they’re faster, easier, and far less overwhelming.
