DMR works with AfterLoss to make practical planning easier

Dying Matters Rutland is working with AfterLoss, a UK-based online resource which helps people prepare important information and understand some of the practical steps that may be needed after a death.

Planning ahead can significantly reduce uncertainty for family and friends.

AfterLoss provides a structured way to keep useful information together, including financial and legal details, important contacts and a record of personal wishes.

The resource can help people:

• understand the practical steps their family may need to take

• record important financial and legal information

• keep key contact details together

• write down their wishes clearly

The collaboration reflects one of DMR's central messages: planning ahead is not simply about preparing for death. It is about giving the people close to us clearer information and fewer difficult decisions at an already challenging time.
