Jane Duncan Rogers

Jane says “I was devastated when my husband died – this was  not in our plans! My greatest fear had come true, my life had completely changed, I was on my own again at age 54, too young to be an old widow, but too old to be a young one. However, little did I know that 3 years on I would be publishing a book called Gifted By Grief. How could I be gifted by this
terrible loss? And yet I was – and that has led me directly to what I do now”
Jane’s background of 25 years in the psychotherapeutic and training field has been perfect for the company she founded, Before I Go Solutions. With their team of trained End of Life Planning Facilitators, they offer products and programmes to help people complete their end of life plans, something 90% say is essential, but only 14% actually do anything about.
Jane lives in the north of Scotland, got married again in between lockdowns, and she and her new husband are building not only a new life but a new eco-house together.
