Created by Death Doulas

When Lauren lost Derek at 38, she was overwhelmed and unsure of what she needed or where to begin in the days and weeks after his death. Narrated by Lauren herself, this toolkit is crafted by people who have lived through the real emotions of grief and loss, offering support when it's needed most, especially for those unspoken needs that often go unnoticed.

This toolkit offers immediate support during the first days and following weeks, into months of grief.
