The Measure by Nikki Erlick

“Eight ordinary people. One extraordinary choice.

It seems like any other day. You wake up, get ready, and head out.

But today, when you open your front door, waiting for you is a small box, holding the answer to the number of years you will live.

Suddenly, everyone on earth is faced with the same choice: Do they wish to know how long they’ll live? And, if so, what will they do with that knowledge?

As society comes together and pulls apart, The Measure charts the dawn of this new world through an unforgettable cast of characters whose paths interweave with one another: best friends whose dreams are forever entwined, pen pals finding refuge in the unknown, a couple who thought they didn’t have to rush, a doctor who cannot save himself, and a politician whose box becomes the powder keg that changes everything.

The Measure is a sweeping, ambitious, uplifting story about family, love, hope, and destiny that encourages us to live life to the fullest.”

Megan Morano

I'm Megan, founder of Until Death Doulas. I provide compassionate, non-medical support for end-of-life planning, focusing on celebration planning and Care Circle creation for adults 18+.

My path to this work started early, shaped by loss and grief in my community. Volunteering in palliative care as a teen, I realized the profound impact of listening to stories and being present with someone facing the unknown. After years in the events and music industry, I returned to death work, drawn to its meaningful nature.

Death isn't a crisis but a part of life that deserves care, dignity, and connection. I help you build the structures and support that reflect your values, whether planning for surgery or your final chapter.
