Products & Resources
Death asks a lot of us. These resources, and this support, are designed to make it a little easier — and for you to feel a little more held.
A guided companion for the person who is navigating the end of their life.
It has been designed to be beautiful enough to sit on a bedside table, substantive enough to actually be useful and gentle enough to open on a hard day.

A carefully curated kit for someone navigating end of life — or for the person who wants to support them. Every item has been chosen with intention: to hold, to comfort, to prompt, to mark and honour.
This is not a sympathy gift. It is a companion to support people living through the last of their days.
Kits are made to order and dispatched within a few working days — timeframe to be confirmed. NZ‑wide shipping available. If you’re purchasing for someone in hospice or hospital care and need urgent delivery, please get in touch directly.
Legacy & Life Story
Every life holds stories worth keeping. This is a structured series of conversations to capture your story, your voice, and what you want to leave behind — for the people who love you, and for the generations that follow.
The scope depends on the complexity of the work and the outputs you want: from a simple recorded interview and summary document, through to a beautifully published book with images and captions. Priced accordingly.

For the hardest days
By Nikau Remedies, available through Before We Go
Two gentle homeopathic remedies to support you through grief and shock — one for the immediate days of bereavement, one for the deeper grief that follows.
For emotional shock and anxiety — especially helpful around the funeral. 1–2 sprays directly in the mouth, or add to water. Repeat as needed.
For sudden loss, grief, or heartbreak. Can be used immediately or once the initial shock has passed. 2–3 drops directly in the mouth, or add to water. Repeat as needed.
Both remedies contain a combination of homeopathic remedies, brandy, and distilled water. If symptoms persist, a consultation with a homeopath is suggested.

When someone we love is dying, words can be hard to find. We may want to offer comfort, mark a sacred moment, or honour a life well lived, but not know quite what to say. Here are two beautiful reflections to support families, carers, and communities through these tender moments. Professionally recorded for listening, and also available as printable readings to keep close by.
A gentle reflection for those keeping vigil or sitting beside a loved one as they near the end of life. Written to bring comfort, presence, and peace when words feel inadequate.
A heartfelt reading for funerals, memorials, celebrations of life, or family gatherings. A reflection on love, memory, legacy, and the impact a life leaves behind.
Get the recordings and printable versions directly to your inbox. A small gift from us for the journey.
A quiet space to think about what matters. Draw a card, sit with a question, and receive a gentle reflection.
For anyone carrying something to do with death, grief, or the end of life. No account needed.
A meaningful way to mark anniversaries, losses and birthdays. Held remembers the day and helps you find the words, so no special moment goes unmarked.
Free to start for families, doulas and midwives, with tools for funeral homes too.
