Whether you received news of an unexpected death or shared your loved one’s final moments, your initial reaction was most likely shock. No matter how prepared we are, or are not, a loved one’s death often leaves us feeling panicky. If you are responsible for making the funeral arrangements or executing the will, shock and grief can be overwhelming and paralyzing. Even simple decisions can be bewildering. At Symonds, we hope you can navigate through this process with the reassurance that you are not alone and we are here to help you every step of the way.
