Each year, over 180,000 Australians face death, yet few leave behind a will or clear end-of-life instructions. For Vibha Gulati, caring for her mother Bhusan at home fulfilled a deeply personal final wish. With the support of the Violet Initiative, a not-for-profit offering guidance and AI-enabled multilingual tools—families like Vibha’s find emotional and practical help. As Australia’s population ages, experts stress the growing need for services like Violet to support dignified and informed farewells.
