Welcome back to our eagerly anticipated Season 2 of Next Steps 4 Seniors: Conversations of Aging!  We are thrilled to have you join us for another round of insightful discussions on all the topics about aging gracefully!

We are Kicking off Season 2 with a gentle breeze of wisdom and warmth, our first episode sees Wendy engaging in a heart-to-heart conversation with Cheryl Marshall on a topic that touches us all: navigating the aftermath when a loved one passes away.

Ever wonder about the intricate steps involved when facing such a profound moment in life?  This episode is your guiding light through this deeply emotional process.  Wendy and Cheryl delicately unravel the complexities, offering clarity on what needs to be done, when, and who to reach out to for immediate support.

Legal matters can often feel like a labyrinth, but fear not!  Wendy and Cheryl dive into the legal nuances, shedding light on the roles of emergency staff, hospice, and funeral homes. They give a step-by-step guide on how they assist in decision-making during such tender times.  Surprisingly, did you know you can visit funeral homes beforehand to pre-plan the details? It’s a thoughtful gesture that can ease the burden for everyone involved.

Speaking of decision-making, did you know there is a hierarchy of next of kin and decision-makers?  How about when the Power of Attorney steps in?  These are some of the questions we explore, painting a picture of understanding and empowerment.

So, grab your favorite cuppa, settle into your comfiest spot, and join Wendy and Cheryl as they embark on a tough emotional subject with compassion and connection.  Your heart will thank you!
