The Before I Go Method® was created by Jane Duncan Rogers, founder of Before I Go Solutions, a community enterprise based in the north of Scotland. Since its founding in 2016, the Before I Go Method® has been undertaken by scores of people in the UK, the U.S., Canada, France, South Africa, and even as far away as Ecuador in South America. Jane's mission has always been "to make end-of-life plans as commonplace as birth plans."
Jane has also pioneered a program designed to train men and women to become End-of-Life Planning Facilitators. In the past few years, many have completed the training.

Read below to see what Jane Duncan Rogers, founder of Before I Go Solutions®, has to say about the importance of end-of-life planning:
Worried you might become a burden on your family and friends?
In this time of coronavirus, although most of us will come through fine, it is bringing the thought of our own mortality closer, isn't it?
So if you’ve ever worried about losing your independence and maybe becoming a burden on your children or family, you’ll be familiar with how horrible that thought is and how tempting it is just to ignore it and hope it won’t happen for you. But now you can see it might actually happen.
You might have experienced having to take care of elderly parents who have not prepared for their end of life, or their death, and so you know just how debilitating it can be when you have to sort their affairs out afterwards
You may be bothered about the fact that it’ll be your children or friends who have to take care of all your stuff, if you don’t get a move on now. But even so, you just can’t get things sorted
Or you’re concerned about making the wrong decision about your own end of life – what if you change your mind?
Just the thought of all the stuff someone will have to sort through can create overwhelm – you know you need to do it, but that in itself creates "stuckness", doesn't it, and the end result is - nothing happens, nothing gets sorted, and you feel drained at the thought of it all. Ghastly!
And anyway, you just don’t have enough time to do all this – who does?
Well, just imagine...
Your relief, knowing that all the stress of the admin for your family after you have died has been taken care of
Looking round your house and seeing more space, less stuff, and that what you DO have is organized systematically
Putting your fingers on your death folder really easily , knowing that what is in there is everything that will be needed after you’ve gone
Knowing your family will only have to follow your instructions as to what you want after you’ve gone
Feeling relaxed and at peace, because you’ve done all this, and particularly you have chosen the kind of treatment you want towards the end of your life
However, if you know this is a good idea, but do nothing about it, then you also know that you'll continue to…
Feel guilty that you’re not taking action – but justify it by saying you just don’t know where to start, or you don’t have enough time, or you can’t decide what you want...
Fret that you haven’t done it, and that it is possible you could just kick the bucket at any time, and what would happen then…
Worry that one of your biggest fears will come true, and you will be a burden on your family in your later years, or will not get the treatment you want towards the end of your life
Be stuck in the same place, nothing changing or moving, clutter, stuff and papers all around you, and it ultimately impacting negatively on your mental health, if not your physical
Have your energy sapped bit by bit because you know what you should be doing and yet you’re not doing it

What previous clients have said about working with Michael:
"Dr. Williams' knowledge of and compassion for my concerns was wonderful. He walked me step by step through the process and I felt so much better because that was another step completed that I don't have to worry about...and neither do my loved ones. If you are struggling with making out your will, powers of attorney, and advanced directive, I encourage you to contact Dr. Williams. I highly and without a doubt recommend his assistance in this most important part of your life.” ~ Grace Augustine, Iowa, U.S.A.
"Thank you so much Jane and Michael for your knowledge, encouragement and support along the way. And thank you to my fellow trainees for being a wonderful bunch of people!" ~ a Before I Go Method participant
