§ Journey
The death you knew was coming. The year that follows.
The first 72 hours and the funeral. The estate and what being executor actually involves. The other parent, who has just become your responsibility in a different way. Your siblings, the inheritance moment, the family fault lines. What grief actually feels like at month one, month six, month twelve, told straight. Anniversaries. Identity. What stayed and what changed.
Begin →The death, the funeral home, the people, what not to decide. The decisions that can wait, and the few that can't.
What's required, what's optional, what people actually need. The day itself, in the order it happens.
Executor role, probate, the timeline, what slows it down. The Australian process in plain English.
What changes for them, what's now your job. The role you've quietly inherited.
The inheritance moment, the family fault lines, how to not destroy the family in the year that follows.
Month one, month six, month twelve. What it actually feels like. Why it ambushes you on a Tuesday afternoon.
Anniversaries, identity, what stayed and what changed. The first time the date comes around.
