After the Diagnosis Plan
A family member's diagnosis can turn your world upside down. Take back some control by organizing your next steps.
Work through each area of the wheel at your own pace. Your answers stay private and are never saved or shared. When you're done, you can print your plan. You don't have to figure this out alone.
You just received difficult news.
Let's take your next steps — together.
A diagnosis doesn't come with instructions. The After the Diagnosis Plan helps you organize your thoughts, feelings, and actions across eight important areas of your life. Work through them in any order. Come back anytime.
There are no right or wrong answers here — only yours. Take your time. Take a breath. You have more time than you think.
The eight areas of the wheel:
- Money
- Legal
- Family
- Share
- Values
- Priorities
- Timing
- Wellness
