# Yellow Falcon > Yellow Falcon is an Australian grief support business helping people through the practical and emotional realities of life after someone dies. Founded by Ashleigh Conwell, it offers structured education, plain language resources, and workplace grief support for bereaved people, the people supporting them, those getting their affairs in order, and the organisations that employ them. Yellow Falcon was created by Ashleigh Conwell after she was widowed suddenly while 17 weeks pregnant with triplets. Her babies were born premature and spent 37 days in NICU, and she became a solo parent and sole provider while grieving. No practical, step by step resource existed for the administrative, legal, and financial tasks that follow a death, so she built one. The spreadsheet she made to get herself through became Yellow Falcon. The brand began with widows and has broadened to welcome all bereaved people under one roof. Specific grief experiences, such as losing a partner, a parent, a child, or a sibling, are met inside individual resources, not in how the brand leads. ## Who Yellow Falcon is for - Bereaved people: anyone navigating life after a death, at any stage - Supporters: friends and family who want to help, including those buying a resource on someone else's behalf - Planners: people getting their own affairs in order, or preparing for the end of life - Organisations: HR leaders and people managers who carry a duty of care when an employee is bereaved ## Key Pages - [Home](https://www.yellowfalcon.com.au): Overview of Yellow Falcon's mission, founder story, and resources - [About Ashleigh](https://www.yellowfalcon.com.au/about): Ashleigh Conwell's story and the origin of Yellow Falcon - [What To Do When Someone Dies](https://www.yellowfalcon.com.au/checklist): A plain language, Australian checklist for the practical tasks after a death - [The Confident Widow Course](https://www.yellowfalcon.com.au/course): The full online course, including curriculum and what is included - [Speaking](https://www.yellowfalcon.com.au/speaking): Ashleigh's keynote and event speaking, topics, and booking enquiry - [Blog](https://www.yellowfalcon.com.au/blog): Articles on grief, practical guidance after a death, identity, and end of life planning - [Freebies](https://www.yellowfalcon.com.au/freebies): Free resources, including the Navigating Special Occasions Toolkit and Values Worksheet - [Contact](https://www.yellowfalcon.com.au/contact): General enquiries ## About Ashleigh Conwell Ashleigh Conwell is the founder of Yellow Falcon.
