A Tale of Two Farewells
My Mother's Gift of Clarity
When my mother passed away, she left behind more than memories. She had carefully prepared her wishes, the funeral, the wake, the details of her accounts , everything was organised. It was still a painful time, but her planning gave us comfort and clarity.
My Friend's Unintentional Burden
Years later, I lost an old Army friend. He hadn't prepared anything. No instructions, no paperwork, no plan. I was left to handle everything, and it was overwhelming, stressful, and traumatic.
These two contrasting experiences showed me just how much difference planning makes. That's why I created So I Am Dead (SIAD), a simple, affordable way for you to leave behind clarity, not chaos.
When Nothing Is Written Down
Confusion Over Final Arrangements
Without guidance, families struggle to make decisions about funeral or memorial services, often wondering if they're honouring your wishes.
Financial Complications
Locked bank accounts, unknown insurance policies, and forgotten passwords create a financial maze that can take months to navigate.
Family Disagreements
Without clear instructions, disagreements can arise about "what they would have wanted," causing additional strain on relationships during an already difficult time.
Unfulfilled Wishes
When nothing is written down, personal wishes are often forgotten or overlooked. Charitable donations, final requests, or even simple details about how someone wanted to be remembered may never happen.
It doesn't have to be this way. With proper planning, you can spare your loved ones this unnecessary stress.

About Richard Wade
I’m Richard Wade, and I created So I Am Dead after living through both sides of loss.
When my mother passed away, she left behind a clear record of her wishes. Everything was organised, from the funeral to the household details, and while it was still painful, her planning gave us comfort and space to grieve.
Years later, I lost a close Army friend who left nothing written down. No instructions, no documents, no guidance. I was left trying to piece everything together, and it was overwhelming, stressful, and traumatic.
Those two experiences showed me just how powerful preparation can be. One left peace, the other left chaos.
SIAD is my way of helping others spare their families the same pain. It’s not just a planner, it’s a final act of love and care for the people who matter most.
Common Questions
Is this legally binding?
No. The SIAD Planner is not a legal will. It's a structured, practical guide to make your wishes clear and your affairs easy to manage. You should still have a proper will drawn up by a solicitor, but SIAD covers all the everyday details that legal documents don't.
Why not just write it down in a notebook?
Notebooks get lost, damaged, or leave out vital details. The SIAD Planner is fillable, comprehensive, and organised, prompting you to record things you might never think of on your own, from passwords to funeral music.
What if my details change?
That’s the beauty of it, you can update the PDF anytime. Save a new version whenever life changes, and your loved ones will always have the latest, most accurate copy.
Who should have a copy?
Keep one copy securely stored, and share another with a trusted family member, executor, or solicitor. When you make changes, update them too. It’s simple, private, and entirely under your control.
How long does it take t complete?
You can complete the planner at your own pace. If you have all of the required information to hand it should take you approximately 1 hour to complete.
Is this a Lasting Power of Attorney?
No. A Power of Attorney lets people you trust make decisions for you if you can’t. Putting this in place while you still have capacity protects your finances, health, and peace of mind— and gives clear authority to your chosen person(s) when it matters most. We highly recommend that you seek advice from a qualified, local, Solicitor and complete one. List the details of your Attorney in the planner.
Leave Them Peace, Not Problems
You cannot choose when the day will come, but you can choose how prepared your loved ones will be.
