Introducing August & After

August & After creates guided journals and letter-writing tools designed to help people capture their life, stories, and legacy.

Our first release, the Before I Go journal, supports those navigating end-of-life planning with compassion and love.

Born from loss, created with love

This journal was created after the loss of my dad left me with lingering questions and a deep ache of wanting to know his life through his own words.

I built the Before I Go journal to help others find connection and meaning during one of life’s hardest chapters.
