Prepared for an Unexpected Health Crisis?

If you were in an accident or suffered an unexpected health emergency, are your affairs in order? Do you have a set of Advance Directives? Do you know who you would want to communicate for you if you couldn’t speak for yourself? And if you died, do you have a will? Would someone have access to your passwords, financial, and personal affairs to help settle things after you’re gone? If the answer to any of these questions is no, join the team from Worry –Free Wednesday s to learn what you can do to ensure the end-of-life decisions you want to make for yourself (or your loved ones) are well-documented and communicated. Putting the right people in the know, before you go.

Wendy Norman is the founder of Worry-Free Wednesdays. She has been researching and engaging with end-of-life issues for over 15 years. Her interest was sparked by her mother’s diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer’s in 2006. This is when she learned the importance of having a plan before becoming ill, especially when cognitive decline is involved. Wanting to help others understand the value of pre-planning, she became an end-of-life planning consultant in 2017. In 2019, she left a 25-year career in marketing and program management at Microsoft to invest her time and energy toward end-of-life planning, education, and awareness. In 2020 she helped create and lead a team of volunteers to launch an education and awareness program called End of Life Ready hosted by End of Life Washington. Building on that experience, Worry-Free Wednesdays was created to broaden and deepen end-of-life education.
