Understanding End-of-Life IT Planning and Palliative Care
Losing a partner is one of life’s most profound and painful experiences, often leaving the surviving partner overwhelmed with emotional and practical challenges.

Digital assets—such as accounts, files, and online information—carry both personal and financial significance.

What our Clients say about us:
When I lost my beloved husband, my world was turned upside down, and focusing on anything felt impossible. I found myself falling behind, and while my family was wonderfully supportive, they didn’t have the technical skills needed to access his phone and computer. A friend recommended GentleTech, but I was understandably apprehensive about entrusting such deeply personal information to someone outside my family.
When I contacted GentleTech’s team, they were kind, understanding, and patient. I explained my situation, the urgency, and the emotional weight of it all. They listened with compassion, assuring me that they would help at a pace that felt comfortable.
Their approach was so thoughtful, they guided me step by step, explaining what needed to be done at each stage. When I became overwhelmed, they would pause, giving me the space I needed to process everything, never rushing, always considerate of my feelings.
The entire process took about two to three weeks, as I hadn’t fully grasped the extent of my husband’s digital accounts and assets. With GentleTech’s patient assistance, a burden was lifted, and I felt an immense sense of relief. Their support eased a significant amount of anxiety, and I am deeply grateful. I would wholeheartedly recommend GentleTech to anyone in a similar situation. Thank you, GentleTech, for your compassion and invaluable help.
