Completeness, checked
Every finished book is reviewed against a checklist, so nothing important is silently missing.
About
Born from one family’s near-miss
When I’m Not Here began as a private document one man wrote for his own family — “If anything happens to me, here is everything you need.” It became a book so every family can have the same peace of mind.
Why It Exists
Families shouldn’t have to guess
When someone dies or is suddenly unable to speak for themselves, the people they love most are left searching — through drawers, phones and half-remembered conversations — at exactly the moment they can least bear it.
This book is the answer prepared in advance: wishes, instructions, accounts, contacts and messages, organised calmly in one place.
The companion to Life Stories
Life Stories captures the story of a life — the memories, the lessons, the laughter — recorded in conversation and crafted into a book families keep forever. When I’m Not Here is its practical companion: the wishes and instructions that sit alongside the story.
Together, they are the complete gift: who you were, and what you wanted.
Our Standards
How we work
No secrets, ever
We never collect passwords, PINs or secrets. The book points; your password manager stores.
In person, with patience
Our companions are chosen for warmth and discretion, and trained to go at your pace.
Not legal advice
We organise information. Wills, estates and powers of attorney are always referred to a lawyer.
Your family will thank you
Begin the book today — for them, and for your own peace of mind.
