Welcome.

This is your personal archive of the No One Tells You This email series. You can revisit any email or jump ahead if the timing feels right.

EMAIL ONE: No One Tells You This: What to expect in those first few hours. A calm, clear guide to what happens next

EMAIL TWO: “You need to engage a funeral director” — now what? That jarring sentence, and what to do next

EMAIL THREE: When to Call a Funeral Director. It feels too soon, but it might be the right time

EMAIL FOUR: What Needs to Be Decided (and What Can Wait). Cremation, burial, venue, music — where do you even start?

EMAIL FIVE: Protecting Your Space. When everyone wants to help, but it doesn’t feel helpful

EMAIL SIX: After the Funeral. The paperwork. The ashes. The quiet.
