THE GUARDIANS GIFT is a comprehensive approach that prepares families for the loss of a loved one.
We go beyond wills or trusts to ensure that families have everything they need to honor and celebrate the dearly departed.
As you try to grieve you quickly find out you need information that is not readily available such as wills, access to financials, important passwords. With the Guardians Gift, vital information is gathered, important conversations are facilitated and your family is emotionally supported.
It can either be your problem and burden later or it can be an opportunity for connection now. By planning and taking pro-active steps, you can prevent heartache, save money, and lessen emotional stress.
The Guardians Gift School is a confidential and thorough program that guides your every step.
I find that families and their loved ones usually have some items in place such as a Last Will & Testament, funeral arrangements, or “thoughts” about what the desired path looks like for this part of their journey. But what I also find is a large variety of “understoods” or a “piecemeal” accumulation of important documents. Most often, adult children are met with crisis situations where an immediate decision is necessary and those adult children usually feel ill prepared and wrought with emotions that don’t provide comfortable, peace filled, and loving decisions.
Most of us believe that having a Will or a Trust is all we need to help our family when we pass. Unfortunately this is not the case. There is much more that goes into the “business of dying.” The Guardians Gift was created to help families thoroughly plan for the inevitable loss of a loved one. Please learn from our experience and leave your family well prepared so that they can focus on what is most important…saying goodbye.
The GUARDIANS GIFT SCHOOL provides families with options to take action before crisis hits and how to manage everything even if its already underway. Below you will find all that the school offers to help thoroughly plan for the end of life.
THE GUARDIANS GIFT TIME CAPSULE
Brenda feels EXHAUSTED.
Brenda falls into her favorite chair in the darkening room not sure she even wants to eat dinner. Unable to concentrate on anything of value, she stares at the floor and wonders if she will make it through another day. “Maybe I’ll just go to bed; When I wake up things will be better or least they might be different.
Brenda feels STUCK.
Brenda’s family members live too far away to be of any help caring for her aging parents. All her siblings tell her what a great job she’s doing.
Brenda feels SPREAD THIN.
Brenda desperately wants to attend her grandchildren’s events without feeling guilty. Because she is anxiously listening for that “emergency or final call” about her parents, she is always on guard. Brenda is unable to focus on the moment and fully enjoy herself.

Hi, I’m Judy.
Change is difficult, and most of us would rather suffer than change. I’ve made lots of changes throughout my life and understand the uncertainty, the grief of letting go, the what-ifs of negativity, and the eventual satisfaction of having made it through.
I won’t tell you what to do, but I will walk with you on your journey of change. I will listen to you, but, more importantly, I will hear you. I will see you, but, greater than that, I will know you. I will loyally walk with you through the peaks and valleys all the way to your desired destination.
