• Retiring from a work career or voluntary activity that has helped shape who you are and what you stand for.
• Losing a significant part of your independence and mobility; even giving up driving a car can be a significant loss for many people.
• Moving out of your home.
• Saying goodbye to a favorite pet.
Losses such as these are simply part of living. Like their counterparts among the joyful occasions in our lifetime - the birth of a child or grandchild, a celebration of marriage, an enduring friendship - they are part of what it means to share in the human experience. And the emotions they create in us are part of living, as well.
“The experience of grief is powerful. So, too, is your ability to help yourself heal. In doing the work of grieving, you are moving toward a renewed sense of meaning and purpose in your life”.
- Dr. Alan D. Wolfelt, Center for Loss and Life Transition.
Legal Issues
Wills, probate, joint property, estate taxes, selecting a fiduciary/attorneys for property and personal care and other issues may appear somewhat intimidating at first. Fortunately, with a little guidance and preparation, dealing with such matters does not have to be so overwhelming.
The Importance of a Will
A Will is an instrument by which a person (the “testator”) makes a disposition of his/her property, to be performed or take effect after his or her death.
