Turning loss into guidance 

In 2021, I lost my dad suddenly. One moment, he was here—the next, I was arranging his funeral, drowning in paperwork I didn’t understand, and trying to grieve while holding everything together. Eight months later, my mom passed away, too. At 35, as an only child, I was thrust into the overwhelming reality of managing her final days, planning two funerals in less than a year, and handling every detail of their affairs—all while navigating my own grief. 

Closing accounts, sorting through medical bills, tracking down life insurance policies, and figuring out what to do with 401(k)s, I realized something—no one teaches us this stuff. 

I created Kin Closure to share the resources, tools, and lessons I wish I’d had during that time. It’s a space to help others feel less alone and more prepared to face what comes next when the unimaginable happens. Kin Closure exists because I don’t want you to feel as lost as I did.
