First-Days Support Plan

The next day or two. Small jobs, not life after the death.

Module 10

Example: Completed Example: First-Days Support Plan

Fictional example. Jo's partner has died after an illness. Jo wants fewer calls and help with ordinary tasks.

The ordinary task I need help with, and when
Dog walk tomorrow morning and bread from the shop. I want to stay home.
The person I will ask, and my request
Ask Leon: Can you take Pip out at nine and bring bread? Please text; I cannot manage a call.
Who will handle messages, and what may they share?
My sister has agreed to answer family messages. She may share arrangements I approve, not details of the death.
Company I want or do not want; something that can wait
Leon can leave the bread at the door. I want my sister here for supper. Sorting clothes can wait.
Who I can contact for more support; where to find their details
My sister's number is beside the phone. She will find the hospice bereavement contact with me if I want help asking for support.
