In this deeply personal episode of Between Here & Heaven, host Tara Delaney—transformation coach and creator of Blue Wings Within—sits down with her mother for an honest, behind-the-scenes conversation about what really happens after a loved one dies.

Together, they walk through the days, weeks, and months following the sudden loss of Tara’s son, Sloan—not just the emotional devastation, but the logistical reality of grief that so few people talk about.

From police calls and mortuary decisions to packing up an apartment, handling financial responsibilities, retrieving personal belongings, and planning memorial services, this episode gently exposes the overwhelming list of tasks that descend on families at the exact moment their hearts are breaking.

Tara’s mom shares how she stepped into the role of steady guide—handling decisions, paperwork, and practical matters when grief made it nearly impossible for Tara to think or breathe. Their conversation sheds light on the physical toll of grief, the importance of community support, and why no one should ever have to navigate loss alone.

This episode also offers real, lived guidance, including:

• The first steps to take after a sudden or unexpected death

• What mortuaries help with—and why choosing one early matters

• Financial, legal, and logistical tasks families don’t expect

• The role of community, family, and asking for help

• How grief impacts the body, not just the heart

As a transformation coach, Tara’s work is centered on helping people survive the unthinkable and rebuild their lives with support, compassion, and meaning. This episode reflects that mission—offering clarity, comfort, and a sense of steadiness during one of life’s most overwhelming moments.

If you are grieving, supporting someone who is grieving, or want to be better prepared for the realities of loss, this conversation is here to walk beside you.
