GoFundMe Isn’t the Problem — It’s the Symptom. Here’s the Real Issue.

Legacy Series: Part II

💔 Every time someone dies without a plan, the cycle repeats:

  • A grieving family
  • No instructions
  • No access to money
  • Confusion over what the person would’ve wanted
  • And finally… a GoFundMe page.

“Please help. We weren’t prepared.”

These posts are heartbreakingauthentic, and real — but they’re also predictable.

Because here’s the truth no one wants to say:

GoFundMe isn’t the problem.
It’s the symptom.


🤔 So what’s the real issue?

The real issue is silence.
It’s avoidance.
It’s the cultural norm of not talking about death until it’s too late.

We:

  • Avoid hard conversations
  • Don’t make a will
  • Forget to organize our passwords, insurance, and bills
  • Hope we’ll “get to it later”

But sometimes, later never comes.

And when it doesn’t, our families are left to figure out a financial, legal, and emotional mess while trying to grieve.


🔍 What GoFundMe Really Represents

GoFundMe represents a gap — a hole where planning should have been.
It says: We didn’t know this would happen, and we don’t know what to do now.

It’s a desperate attempt to piece together something that should’ve been solidified long before the funeral home was called.

And while GoFundMe has helped so many people, it was never meant to replace preparation.


💡 Imagine a Different Story

What if the story looked like this instead:

  • “Everything we needed was in one place.”
  • “There was a clear plan — no fighting, no confusion.”
  • “We got to focus on honoring their life, not scrambling to figure things out.”

That’s what happens when people prepare.

Not perfectly. Not legally complicated. Just prepared.
