Heather Davis
JSI Associate Director for Publications
“Megan helped me understand how I could broach a difficult topic with my dad: his plans for long-term care. The phrasing and approach she suggested have been so helpful. She combines practical advice about how to help a loved one get her/his estate documentation in order with insightful guidance about the emotional piece of preparing for our own or a loved one’s eventual passing.”

“I know how completely overwhelming it feels to have navigate your grief after the loss of a parent and the mountain of paperwork and tasks that follows. I wish I’d had a guide like Megan Malick to walk me both the emotional and logistical journeys. The good news is that now there is a process to prepare you for what’s ahead and help you when you’re in the messy middle. I can’t say enough about Megan’s process.”
