The idea for LodeLight Guides came to us after Mark’s dads' passing. It wasn't long before we realized how much there was to do — and what little guidance was available.

One particularly frustrating day, I blurted out, "I wish there was an instruction manual for this!" It turns out there wasn't.. so we made one.

We created these guides from scratch and packed them full of everything you could ever possibly want to know, so that you don't have to go through the uncertainty that we did.

Our goal is to provide you with everything you need, when you need it, so that you can spend time healing your heart instead of chasing papers.

Why LodeLight?

The word Lode means path or way in old English, and in modern terms it is a vein of precious ore hidden within stone.

Light represents guidance and clarity.

Together, they form LodeLight — the illumination of the path ahead.

It’s a reminder that even in life’s hardest chapters, there is always a light to help you move forward, out of the darkness into the golden light.
