About Us - The story behind Wishes
Wishes was born from love, loss, and the hope of making things a little easier for the ones we leave behind.
In 2021, my father-in-law passed away unexpectedly. Watching my husband and his family navigate their grief — while struggling with the guilt of not knowing what he truly wanted — broke my heart.
- Did he want to be buried or cremated?
- Where did he want to be laid to rest?
- How did he want to be remembered?
Those questions weighed heavily on everyone. And it made us realise something important: we don’t talk about death enough. Not because we don’t care — but because it’s confronting, uncomfortable, even a little depressing.
We wanted to change that.
So we created Wishes Book — a gentle, thoughtful way to have the conversation without actually having to say the words. A place to write down what matters most to you, in your own handwriting, so that one day, your loved ones aren’t left wondering.
This isn’t a legal document or a replacement for a will. It’s something more personal. A space for your thoughts, your wishes, your love — so that when the time comes, your family will have clarity, comfort, and peace.
Because no one should have to make hard decisions in the dark.
Leave behind memories, guidance, and love — not questions. Leave them with Wishes.
