COMPASSIONATE & PRACTICAL SUPPORT WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST
Losing someone you love is hard enough.
The last thing you need is the overwhelm of sorting through belongings, managing accounts, and coordinating next steps—especially when you're grieving.
I offer the kind of support I wish I’d had when I lost my own parents. That experience changed everything for me—and it’s why I’m so passionate about walking with others through the chaos and complexity that can follow a loss.
After-Loss Support at a Glance
I provide compassionate, hands-on help to support executors or family members managing the practical and logistical tasks of closing out a life. From clearing out the home to notifying agencies and organizing paperwork, I’ll help carry the load, so you don’t have to do it all alone.
I work in partnership with your attorney and other trusted professionals—focusing on the day-to-day logistics while they handle the legal and financial matters. This collaborative approach ensures nothing slips through the cracks and helps you move forward with less stress and more peace of mind.
I’ve completed the PALS 6-week training program for After-Loss Professionals, and bring a deeply personal commitment to every family I work with.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER A LOSS
The days after a loss can feel like a fog of decisions and to-dos. I help lighten the load with compassionate, practical support—so the essential details don’t fall through the cracks.
Guidance & Coordination
I can step in as a single point of contact, coordinating with the funeral home, florist, or other vendors so you don’t have to manage endless phone calls and details.
Paperwork & Organization
I’ll help locate, sort, and organize important documents so the right information is at hand when it’s needed.
Companionship & Support
Sometimes you simply don’t want to go alone. Whether it’s attending appointments with you, helping rally family and friends, or just being present, I provide steady support in those first difficult days.
Notary Services
When legal paperwork needs to be signed quickly, I offer mobile notary services throughout Hampton Roads (Chesapeake, Norfolk, Virginia Beach).
AFTER THE FUNERAL
Once the service is over, the next phase begins—and it’s often where overwhelm really sets in. Settling an estate can take months, sometimes more than a year, all while you’re still working, caring for family, and managing your own life. I provide steady, hands-on help to manage the home, the paperwork, and all the moving parts.
Practical Details
There’s a long list of small but essential tasks that follow a loss—canceling services, notifying agencies, managing mail and bills, and handling digital accounts or devices. I make sure these details don’t slip through the cracks, so you can focus on what matters most.
Property & Belongings
From a single closet to an entire estate, I help you work through belongings with care and efficiency. Together we can manage family distribution, donations, clean-outs, and estate sales. I’ll also create an tangible personal property inventory for probate or fair division, and keep an eye on the home until it’s sold or transitioned.

Bringing in the Right Team
Settling an estate usually involves multiple players—attorneys, realtors, estate sale experts, contractors. I’ll coordinate vendors on your behalf and connect you with trusted professionals when you need them, keeping everything on track without adding to your stress.
