ADVANCE OBITUARIES
A TRIBUTE TO YOUR LIFE IN YOUR OWN WORDS
Rather than a formal notice, think of it as a telling. A chance to reflect on what mattered, what shaped you, and what stays. The goal is to create something that feels true to you, and that allows others to know you—-whether they’ve known you for years or are meeting you for the first time on the page.
The Process
-
Where we begin
The process is quiet and personal. It begins with a short intake, followed by a conversation where you can speak freely about your life.
-
shaping the draft
Using what I’ve learned, I’ll shape a draft for you to read, respond to, and make your own. If you’d like, others can add their memories or details along the way.
-
The final piece
Most pieces are between 1,000–1,500 words and are shared with you as a document you can keep, revisit, and pass along when the time feels right.
-
what's included
The fee is $1,000 and includes the full process—-conversation, writing, and revision—-held with care from beginning to end.
WHAT GUIDES ME
Sensitivity, care, and presence shape the way I work. I sit with what is difficult, what is tender, and what is still forming, and I listen closely before I write. I believe words deserve patience and attention, and that being truly present—-with you, and with what you're trying to say—-is what allows something honest and lasting to take shape.
