When someone dies, there’s no syllabus for what happens next. Just grief, paperwork, and a whole lot of “where do I even start?”
That’s why I’m partnering with AARP for a free three-part speaker series called Navigating Life After the Death of a Loved One.
We’ll walk through what really happens after a loss — what to do first, how to stay organized, and how to prepare your own plans so your loved ones aren’t left sorting through chaos.
