Transforming the taboo

MyGoodbyes aims to turn the dial on conversations around death 

Our Mission

We picture a world where discussing death is a normal part of life, and where people have control of their death experience  

Meet the Founders

James Barrett

I founded MyGoodbyes as a place to talk about death after my dad died from cancer and I learned how hard it is to talk about death with someone who is dying.  If we can help one person better plan for death, we will have made a difference.

Faye Temperley

Before starting MyGoodbyes, death anxiety was a real challenge for me. Getting better prepared for end-of-life has helped me overcome this. I lead the creation of our app and courses, which I hope will help others with death anxiety.
