The new version of Lantern.co is easy to use and fulfills a huge and previously unmet need.

Lantern is a necessary product! I wish we had it when my stepdad passed a few years ago, but I know it will be helpful for the future. When overcome with grief, it’s so helpful to have something to rely on to guide you through. Go Lantern!

I am a transplant hepatologist (a liver doctor) and am very glad that this product/company exists. As a doctor this is my least favorite discussion to have with my patients, but it is so important. I have recommended this product to several social workers at my hospital as well, because it’s approachable and user friendly. On a personal note, I have also recommended it to friends who have reached out to me when they were struggling with how to discuss end of life issues with other friends (we are in our 30s). I find Lantern’s approach to be both sensitive and practical. I would absolutely recommend.

I am glad to hear that planning for death is a growing topic. Its very mature to admit what's coming and make rational decisions that should help the loved ones before the time is due. Great job!

Lantern.co is a comprehensive resource for my parents (and me!) to plan ahead. There is so much unknown, it's scary. Thankful to Lantern, this resource is such a blessing! #proudinvestor

Good idea, serving a universal-yet-somehow-niche-seeming need. I envy all the fun bits of cultural variation you'll get to learn about growing this! Case in point - I could send this to my parents (colonized Anglosphere) and actually have a serious conversation, though probably not until after a few drinks. If I sent it to my (Sinosphere) in-laws, I couldn't begin to guess how long it would be before they acknowledged my presence in the same room again...

@murchadh Absolutely, these conversations can be incredibly challenging. We have a few articles on the topic. This is a good one to start with: https://lantern.co/articles/talk... Thank you for this kind note!

Such a great idea and product. Even though no one wants to think about it, we still need to prepare for death.

@nickangel Thank you so much for the support! You are spot on!
