Family Protection ProjectBecause families deserve better than guesswork.

The guides

The things nobody tells you. Written down.

Every guide comes from 15 years inside hospice and healthcare, and from the questions families asked me at their kitchen tables.

Plain language. Word-for-word scripts. Organized so you can find your answer at 2 a.m. without reading the whole thing.

Written by Alyssa Givens, Certified Grief Counselor (AIHCP) and President of the Heart of Hospice Foundation.

Which one do I need?

Start with what's happening today.

"It just happened and I don't know what to do first."

A fall, a call, a diagnosis. You need the first 24 hours handled.

Caregiver Triage, $19 ↓

"Hospice is on the table. Or already here."

You want straight answers about what's happening and what comes next.

"I want the whole map."

From the first sign something is changing to rebuilding your life after.

When crisis hits

What No One Tells You About Caregiver Triage

Most families make their biggest mistakes in the first 24 hours. Not because they aren't capable. Because nobody told them what to do first.

This is the guide you reach for when your hands are shaking. 8 critical moves. 27 pages. Checklists and scripts you can use right now.

  • The First 24 Hours. The first-response checklist, including what not to do yet.
  • What to say to the doctor. Including the one question that tells you everything.
  • Financial first aid. The Frozen Account Trap and the FMLA timeline.
  • Navigating the ER. The first 15 minutes and the discharge-too-fast script.
  • The Legal Window. The four documents that decide everything.
  • Care transitions, the hardest week, and taking care of you.
  • Bonus: the Navigate Guide, with every free resource caregivers should know.

"This guide helped me organize the chaos. Now, I actually feel like I'm managing my mother's care rather than drowning in it."

When hospice enters the conversation

What No One Tells You About Hospice

The word "hospice" gets said in a hallway, and then everyone moves on like you understood it. You didn't. Almost no one does.

72 questions. 200+ pages. Organized by when each question shows up, so you flip to where you are and the answer is waiting.

  • The hospice decision. Qualifying, choosing an agency, and the red flags of a bad one.
  • The first week. The admission visit, the comfort kit, and what every team member does.
  • Medications. The morphine question, answered honestly.
  • The active dying phase. What the body does. What to say. What stops mattering.
  • The first hour after. Who to call, and in what order.
  • Grief. What's normal, what's not, and when to reach for help.
  • Plus 50+ word-for-word scripts for the hard conversations.

"I don't have many words for you other than, this saved my sanity."

For the whole road

What No One Tells You About Caregiving

Caregiving is not one event. It's years of stages, and no one warns you they're coming. The moment you figure one stage out, it changes, and you start over.

250+ pages. 22 sections. Color-coded along the edge of the page, so you go straight to the stage you're in.

  • When you first notice. How to trust what you're seeing when others say you're overreacting.
  • Building your care team. The One Task Rule, and the family members who won't step up.
  • The legal, financial, and insurance map. Medicare, Medicaid, and VA benefits in plain language.
  • Hard conversations. Scripts for boundaries, denial, and the uninvolved sibling.
  • Protecting you. Burnout, the warning signs, and permission to take care of yourself too.
  • Crisis, final days, and the life after.
  • Plus a complete Caregiver Scripts Library and checklists for every stage.

"If you have reservations, don't. This is the book that answers every question we ever had."

Why a guide and not another late-night search

Google gives you forty tabs. I give you the next step.

Built from inside the room.

I have sat with hundreds of families as a hospice liaison, a hospice social worker, and a grief counselor. This is what I told them.

Made for a tired brain.

Checklists. Scripts you can read out loud. Sections you can find fast. Nothing you have to study.

One purchase covers your household.

Share it with your family. When everyone understands what's happening, the conflict drops and you carry less.

My promise: if you buy a guide and don't find at least one thing that changes how you handle your situation, email me within 7 days and I'll refund it.

Before you buy

The things people ask me first.

Do I have to read the whole thing?

No. The guides are built to be navigated, not finished. Go to the stage you're in, read only that, and come back when something changes.

What format is it?

A digital PDF, delivered to your inbox within minutes. Read it on any device, or print the sections you need.

Is this medical, legal, or financial advice?

No. It's education based on 15 years of professional experience. It's a companion to your care team, attorney, and financial professionals, not a replacement for them.

Can I share it with my family?

Yes. One purchase covers your household, and sharing it is encouraged.

What if it doesn't help?

Email me within 7 days and I'll refund it.
