Counsellors hold the emotional weight. Funeral directors hold the logistics. Lawyers hold the estate. Nobody walks you through the rest.

The phone calls. The paperwork. The forms you don't understand. The decisions you've never had to make. The conversations you have no language for. What To Do When Someone Dies is the practical chronology of life after loss, broken into something you can actually do. One phone call. One form. One step at a time.

WHO IT'S FOR

If someone you love has died, this is for you.

Built for the person standing in the kitchen at 11pm, list in hand, with no idea where to start.

  • The partner facing a household, a calendar and a tangle of accounts they did not manage.
  • The parent who has lost a child and been handed paperwork no parent should have to read.
  • The adult child suddenly running the estate while still trying to be a sibling, a parent, a colleague.
  • The person preparing because someone they love is terminally ill, and they want to be ready.
  • The sibling, the friend, the chosen family member doing the practical part because someone has to.


Grief is not a competition. Every loss counts. This checklist won't ask you to justify why you're reaching for it.

THE THREE STAGES

Ashleigh Conwell

IN ASHLEIGH'S WORDS

I built this because I needed it.

I was 29 and 17 weeks pregnant with triplets when my husband died suddenly in an accident. The grief was overwhelming. I expected that. What I did not expect was everything else: the phone calls I could barely speak through, the legal documents I did not understand, the financial decisions I had never imagined making.

People around me loved me. They sent flowers. They cooked meals. But none of them had walked this. So I figured it out. Phone call by phone call. Form by form. Day by day. This checklist is that roadmap, the one I wish someone had handed me.

With all my heart, Ashleigh

WHAT YOU GET

What's on the other side of this checklist.

Somewhere to put it all down

Instead of carrying every call, form and decision in your head, you have one place to look. One thing to do next. One thing to tick off.

Built for grief brain

Short pages. Plain language. Australian phone numbers, agencies and what to say when you call. Designed for the days you can barely think straight.

Permission to do this your way

Work through it in order, or jump to the one thing on your mind tonight. Skip what is not relevant. Come back tomorrow. There is no behind in grief.

Yours immediately

QUESTIONS

The things people ask first.

You don't have to figure this out alone.

Every day without a roadmap is one more day carrying everything in your head. This checklist won't take the grief away. Nothing can. But it will take some of the weight off the things that have to be done anyway, so you can put your energy where it matters.
