Kim walks through the notebook she and her husband Pat have kept for over fifteen years, inspired by helping her mom after her dad's sudden death. It holds the essentials, from passwords and key documents to a will, power of attorney, and medical directive. You'll also hear how it grew from a checklist into a legacy of letters, journals for her grandchildren, and the stories behind what matters most. Kim's one regret is not starting those sacred conversations sooner.\nIn this series, we sit down with professionals and families who've walked the journey to share what they've learned along the way.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/2UPzgmtsCKyVPbO7ufp9KY9fT2qpfyyZGgfmzKnojRw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jMGUz/MzdjNWMxZjUwYjVj/MzJhYjA4MzIxOWYz/MGUzZi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
