The Cost of Avoiding the Conversation
End-of-life planning often means making a hundred decisions when you have zero emotional
bandwidth, whether that’s today or thinking about tomorrow.
- Families shut down.
- Decisions get delayed.
- Loved ones argue or are forced to guess.
- Important documents are missing.
- Wishes go unheard.
- Feelings are hurt.
And ultimately, grief becomes much heavier than it needs to be.
When Someone Dies: A Checklist for Loved Ones
When someone you love dies, the world doesn’t stop. Paperwork appears. Decisions pile up. People ask questions you don’t yet have the energy to answer. Grief makes even simple tasks feel impossibly heavy, and it’s hard to know what truly needs attention now and what can wait. This checklist covers everything from the first 48 hours through the months ahead.

But don’t make it weird.
Plan ahead. Document your end-of-life wishes now: the legal, the practical, the personal, and give your
family the gift of certainty when they’re grieving.
Celebration of Life Services
You grieve; I’ll coordinate.
When grief takes center stage, we take care of the details. We coordinate memorial services and celebrations of life that reflect and honor your loved one.
Speaking and Education
Hold the awkwardness.
Bring death-positive education to your workplace, senior living community, or organization with
workshops and guidance for planning ahead.
Isn’t this depressing?
No. What’s depressing is watching families scramble through decisions while grieving. Planning ahead is a gift.
Meet Lauren and her team, your end-of-life planners.
Whether you’re here in the middle of loss or you’re here because you want to spare someone else this weight, you’re thinking about death, and that takes courage.
When my mom passed away in 2016, I was overwhelmed by how isolating and chaotic the process felt. Families deserve more support, and that realization led to the creation of With Love.
When I’m not helping families plan or facilitating workshops, you’ll find me convincing my husband we need another plant or chasing after my littles. Life’s too short not to enjoy it, which is exactly why we should talk about death.
