"I think they know." Those four words can leave a family with more uncertainty than we realize. In this short solo episode, David talks about the difference between having the paperwork done and making sure your family actually knows what you want. A will and power of attorney may be in place. The important papers may be organized. But families can still be left wondering: What did Mom really want? Why did Dad make that decision? Am I doing the right thing? David shares why clarity can be one of the kindest things we leave behind — especially for the Responsible One who may eventually have to step forward. And he leaves listeners with one simple question: What might your family still have to guess about?

I Think They Know

What happens when you can't find the words for what you've been through? For Liliana Del Vedova, photography became a way to express what words couldn't. In this episode, David and Liliana talk about grief, trauma, healing, and why people sometimes don't need someone to fix them or tell them how to move forward. Sometimes they simply need to feel seen. Liliana shares how her own difficult experiences led her to healing arts and how she now uses analog photography and the darkroom to help others process experiences that can be difficult to explain. They talk about why grief doesn't follow a timetable, the shame people sometimes carry about how they're feeling, and why healing doesn't necessarily mean moving on. This is a conversation about making space for what we carry—and allowing ourselves to be where we are.

Sometimes We Just Need to Be Witnessed

Most of us think we'll have time. Time for one more visit. One more conversation. One more chance to say what matters. But sometimes life changes without warning. In this episode, David has a conversation with <a href= "https://chooseyourmoments.net/the-author/">Elizabeth De Sevo</a>, author of Choose Your MOMents, to talk about the sudden loss of her mother and how that heartbreaking experience completely changed the way she looks at life. Instead of allowing grief to define her, Elizabeth discovered a simple but powerful truth: All that matters are the moments.

The Conversation we've all been avoiding

The podcast is filled with advice, tips, and many real-life examples demonstrating what can go wrong (and what can go right), depending on whether or not families plan accordingly in advance, communicate clearly with one another, and are willing to put petty and selfish differences aside.

No one likes talking about death and inheritances before they absolutely have to, but as I have learned from personal experience, having these conversations earlier, rather than later, will save a lot of time and money, alleviate a ton of stress and ill-feeling, and ensure that the deceased's wishes are properly and efficiently carried out.
