Bereavement Navigators guides widows/widowers/adult children through the numerous, unexpected, and sometimes painful tasks that follow a death, by providing them with the organization tools, resources, and mentoring they may need.  This work is similar to what a Sherpa does - someone who guides and helps people navigate in places and situations they may have never been before. In addition, Bereavement Navigators works with healthy couples and individuals to help them prepare their affairs long before their own death.  This work is in many ways similar to a "lifeboat drill" because for many people it not only becomes a wake-up call, but it also affords their loved ones an opportunity to practice what they will face in the future.  Contact Ronnie by visiting her site.
