Just After a Passing
Dealing with the loss of a loved one is never easy - and it is made harder by the many tasks and details that must be handled so soon after the passing. The tasks can be overwhelming, confusing, and complicated. Your life may already be full. And you may be exhausted from the situation of the passing. You don’t need to do this alone. I work with you to help with the practical things, and give you the support you need along the way.
