Viive Planning

Viive Planning exists to facilitate conversations around end-of-life planning among families and loved ones.

Think of Viive as playing the role of a general contractor in the estate industry.

Every parent has thought about who they’d want to care for their children if something ever happened to them. But not as many have actually planned for Guardianship—and that’s a huge problem.

Not every Will looks the same — and neither should the process. ✍️

In Ontario, you can write your own, work with a lawyer ⚖️, or use an online service 💻. Each option has its place depending on your situation.

What matters most is choosing the approach that actually fits your life — and getting it done properly. ✔️

That’s where Viive comes in.

🖐️ Pop quiz: If you got hit by the proverbial bus today, who would step in for your kids? Really—who would it be, and how would they know what to do?

(In this scenario, your spouse has also been hit by the proverbial bus.)

Every parent should have a Guardianship Plan in place. That ensures their kids have a trusted, familiar face to care for them if (God forbid) anything happens to their parents.

That means having a serious conversation with the child’s other parent, and with the person (or people) you want to step in as a Guardian. It means considering who actually has the capacity, resources, and wherewithal to take in a child (or a few) on short notice. And it means asking your kids who they’d feel safest with if they ever had to stay with somebody else.

If you don’t know how to answer all of those questions, that means you still have some Planning work to do. 🤓

According to the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association (CHPCA), less than half of all Canadians have had a conversation with their families about their Aging & End of Life wishes. In our experience, folks often assume that their loved ones know them well enough to “figure it out.”

But we can assure you… that is not true. 🙅‍♀️

Advance Care Planning isn’t really about you. It’s about the people you love. 👪

Here’s a hard truth: there’s no way to plan for every scenario. Having an Advance Care Plan (ACP) in place doesn’t protect you from hardship.

What it DOES do is give your loved ones the information and guidance they need to get through emergencies when you’re unable to advocate for yourself. An ACP takes the burden of decision-making off their shoulders and spares them a whole lot of unnecessary stress. It’s the best way to protect them, even in moments when you’re incapacitated.

🔥 Here’s a hot take: by the time most people get around to thinking about Advance Care Planning, it’s already too late. ⏰

Advance Care Planning seems like this abstract, theoretical, far-away thing… until somebody you love gets injured or sick. In those moments—like when you’re the one who has to make a decision about whether or not to keep someone on life support—you’re going to wish they’d had a Plan in place.

Imagine you’re taking a test that you haven’t studied for. It’s too late for prep, and you don’t have any of the tools you need to figure out the answers. Now imagine that somebody’s literal life depends on you getting it right.

Welcome to the nightmare of being somebody’s substitute decision-maker when they don’t have an Advance Care Plan (ACP) in place. For the 80% of Canadians who don’t have an ACP, it’s a reality that they (and their families) are bound to face at some point. But it’s also completely preventable.

We don’t talk enough about how it feels to be somebody’s substitute decision-maker. The mental and emotional toll can be very intense, especially when you don’t know what your loved one’s wishes would have been. The only way to prepare is to plan—something only one in five Canadians has done.

A little Advance Care Planning goes a long way. While it might be uncomfortable in the moment, just talking to your loved ones about your wishes for the future can spare them an immense amount of stress down the road.

Advance Care Planning Day is a reminder to think ahead about your future care and make your wishes known.

An ACP doesn’t make decisions for you — it gives your loved ones the clarity and guidance they need if you can’t speak for yourself.

It’s one of the simplest ways to protect the people around you.

Think of the silliest, most trivial argument you’ve ever had with a family member. Now imagine that you’re having that argument in a hospital, with life-or-death stakes attached.
Now you understand why you need an Advance Care Plan. 🤓💡

Making emergency healthcare decisions can put a strain on even the tightest-knit of families. No matter how close you are with your loved ones, being thrown into a position where you have to make extremely serious choices, often under a lot of time pressure—that’s a recipe for conflict.

When somebody without an Advance Care Plan ends up in a situation where they can’t make decisions or advocate for themselves, their loved ones are left trying to guess what they would have wanted. That might mean having to choose, say, whether or not to put someone on a ventilator to keep them alive, or to resuscitate somebody whose heart has stopped.

It goes without saying that these moments are incredibly difficult emotionally. Family members and loved ones of the hospitalized person might have different opinions on what should happen. They may have very different reactions to the stress and grief of what is going on.

If you have an Plan in place, you’ve given hospital workers clear instructions for what should happen to you. If not, you’re leaving it up to the people who love you… probably in one of the hardest moments of their lives.

Spare them the grief. Get an Aging & End of Life Plan. Not sure where to start? Advance Care Planning Canada has free resources to help guide you through it.

🔥 Hot take: Silence is a decision.

When people avoid important conversations about Advance Care Planning, they often feel like they’re releasing themselves from the responsibility of making decisions.

But choosing not to talk about the future IS a decision.

When you put off sitting your loved ones down for a frank conversation Aging and End of Life Planning, all you’re really doing is transferring those decisions onto your loved ones in the future—most likely during a moment of incredible stress and heartache.

Advance Care Planning has been shown to improve family satisfaction and reduce unwanted hospital care at the end of a person’s life. By sitting through a little discomfort today, you can potentially relieve them of this immense pressure in the future.
