We are navigating loss. I was 26 years old when my mother unexpectedly passed away. I found myself in a daze of tasks and to-dos that required my immediate attention. The responsibility to handle affairs during this time is heavy. My hope is that this checklist, and the resources and support woven throughout, offer you clarity, organization, and a sense of direction during a time when you feel lost. Built for you, from someone who’s been there.
