Hold Me Like This is a gentle, practical workbook for people who want to face end‑of‑life planning without losing sight of their own voice, culture, and values. Blending clear checklists with stories, cultural reflection, and quiet questions, this book helps you name your wishes for medical treatment, choose a health care proxy, think through wills and trusts in plain language, and sketch out your preferences for burial, cremation, and ceremony. Alongside the logistics, it makes room for the shape of your days, the rituals that steady you, and the people and traditions that give your life meaning. Designed to be used at your own pace—alone, with family, or alongside a clinician—Hold Me Like This turns intimidating paperwork into a series of human‑sized conversations. It is for anyone who wants to ease the burden on those they love, protect their dignity, and be held with more care and clarity at the end of life, whenever that time comes.
