I'm Lisa. In July 2021, my husband died suddenly — no warning, no goodbye — and nobody handed me a list of what to do first. Your world just broke open — and already, everyone needs answers. What do you do first?
Get The First 72 Hours and take the first three days one step at a time — the handful of things that truly can't wait, in an order that makes sense, and honest permission to let the rest wait. Written widow-to-widow, from what I wish someone had handed me on the worst day of my life.
What's Inside:
• Step One — First, the calls: who to call first, and in what order
• Choosing a funeral home — what to ask, and what can wait
• Step Two — Three decisions that feel enormous, explained gently
• What they'll wear, burial or cremation — there's no wrong answer
• Death certificates — order 10–15 copies now, and why
• Step Three — Who needs to know today, and who can safely wait
• What can wait a week or more — Social Security, banks, the DMV
• Checkboxes to tick off as you go — paper remembers for you
• Lisa's notes throughout — including the phone-tree tip that helps most
• Before you close this — give yourself grace
One thing at a time, friend — the paperwork will wait. You matter more. 🤍
