Discover how end-of-life technology is transforming support for families dealing with loss, and gain practical guidance for navigating one of life’s most challenging moments. In this episode of The Digital Download, Natalia Pazzaglia, CEO and founder of Legacy Compass, discusses how technology can ease emotional and practical burdens associated with end-of-life planning and bereavement.

Natalia draws on her personal and professional journey to highlight the importance of digital solutions in making end-of-life support accessible, especially in underserved communities. She shares powerful stories from her experience as an informal caregiver and the lessons learned while navigating complex administrative and emotional responsibilities after losing a loved one. With over 200 interviews conducted through Legacy Compass, Natalia provides actionable insights on using end-of-life technology to improve both access to support and quality of care—for example, the option to engage online for privacy and comfort when in-person help isn’t available.

If you or your loved ones are facing the challenges of loss, you’ll benefit from this episode’s discussion of online resources for grief support, step-by-step guidance for administrative tasks, and strategies for opening crucial conversations with family members. Natalia emphasizes that technology can help by tailoring information to individual needs, reducing overwhelm, and connecting people with the right community or professionals. This is especially relevant when dealing with unique legal, emotional, and practical circumstances, such as living in a different country from the deceased or handling sensitive family dynamics.
