🧳 Be Ready, Stay Ready:

Creating a Wellness Go-Bag for Emergencies

by Susan Koshi / Lady Flava Wellness

I was driving home recently, listening to NPR News, when I heard a story that stopped me in my tracks.

A pharmacist shared how he created a To-Go Emergency Bag for his father—placing it near the door, ready for anything. It wasn’t just practical; it was a deep act of love. Inside the bag were everyday essentials: medication list, allergies, a change of clothes, extra glasses, and even a book to read.

And I thought: this is exactly the kind of care I want to encourage in the community I serve.

As someone who works with patients and elders—who has walked the path of caregiving myself—I know how overwhelming emergencies can feel. In those moments, having something as simple as a prepared bag can provide both peace of mind and real protection.

💛 Why an Emergency Go-Bag Matters

Emergencies often happen when we least expect them. Whether it’s a fall, a flare-up of chronic pain, or a trip to the ER, having important items and information ready can make a difficult situation a little more manageable—for both you and your loved ones.

That’s why I created this printable Emergency Go-Bag Checklist—a gift from my heart to yours.

✨ What’s Inside?

The checklist includes:

✅ Medical information

✅ Medication & allergy details

✅ Hearing aid batteries, glasses, hygiene items

✅ A change of clothes

✅ A small comfort item like a book or prayer card

✅ And a reminder to print pages from your Wellness Journal to take with you

Holding Space for Pain, Peace & Progress

This checklist is just one piece of a larger project I’ve been working on: a holistic journal designed to help you track not just pain and symptoms, but the whole of your health—your sleep, your hydration, your thoughts, your quiet time, your spiritual care.

It’s a companion to support you and your healing journey—especially when navigating appointments, diagnoses, and uncertainty.

🗣️ Final Thoughts

This is more than a checklist. It’s a form of self-advocacy. A quiet way to say:

“I am prepared. I am supported. I am not alone.”

You deserve to feel safe and empowered in your health journey.

Stay tuned, my friends… the full journal is coming soon.

With sunflowers in my spirit and kindness in my heart,
