## Resource

Lynn B. Stone is an international author, workshop facilitator, podcast host, and engaging guest speaker who brings warmth, honesty, and practicality to conversations many people avoid—planning for the inevitable. As the author of ’Til Death Do Us Part: A Practical Guide to Preparing for the Inevitable, Lynn helps open the door to meaningful discussions about death planning through the lived experience of widowhood. After navigating the emotional and logistical realities that come with loss, Lynn recognized how unprepared many families are—not because they don’t care, but because they don’t know where to begin. From a widow’s perspective, she reframes death planning as an empowering act of love rather than a fearful topic to be postponed. Her approach blends compassion with clear, practical guidance, helping people feel informed, confident, and in control of their future. Lynn has facilitated impactful workshops and appeared as a guest speaker on podcasts and at in-person events both nationally and internationally. She also created the Resistant Conversation Toolkit, which is intended to guide people through difficult conversations surrounding death planning. At the heart of Lynn’s work is a simple but powerful belief: preparation brings peace. By normalizing conversations around wills, documents, and end-of-life wishes, she empowers families to protect themselves and the people they love—long before it becomes necessary.
