Grief Connect

17/05/2026

Most people don’t realise how much happens after someone dies until they are suddenly the person responsible for everything.

The funeral ends… and then the phone calls, paperwork, accounts, legal processes, cancellations, forms, passwords, notifications, banking, superannuation, insurance, and endless decisions begin.

And somehow, you are expected to think clearly while your whole world feels upside down.

What most grieving people do next is sit awake at night Googling.

“What do I do after someone dies?”
“What documents do I need?"
"What should I do with all my person's belongings?"
"What services do I need to access?"
“Am I forgetting something important?”
"How do I manage other people's opinions on what I should be doing?"

Then there's the hours and hours of searching for answers, googling with confusion and trying to find the right information.
And who to trust? What information is the right information?
Trying to piece information together while emotionally exhausted and overwhelmed.
It sounds a lot, because it is A LOT!! It's exhausting just reading about it let alone living it.

That is exactly why I created the “After the Funeral: The Unspoken Next Steps” eGuide.

Not as another generic checklist that still leaves you wondering.
But as practical guidance from someone who understands both grief and the systems people are forced to navigate after death.

This guide helps you understand:
• what needs to be done
• where to start
• what documents and services you may need to consider and prepare for
• how to reduce the mental overload that grief creates

Because when your brain is struggling to process loss, even simple admin can feel impossible.

Most people are left to figure this out alone.
You don’t have to.

You can find the guide below: https://www.rfr.bz/f51ad86

If you are already carrying the weight of trying to manage everything after someone has died, let this guide take some of the pressure off your shoulders and help you feel more organised, informed, and supported through the practical next steps.

You’ve experienced the death of a loved one. Everything feels uncertain.

Doors to the Grief Connect Community open tomorrow.

If you have been following along this week and thinking this might be something you need, you will be able to join from tomorrow.

This Community has been created so you are not doing this on your own, with live sessions you can join, people who understand what this actually feels like, and guidance to help you make sense of what you are going through.

Founding member access will be available when doors open and will only be open until 25 May.

That means if you want to join as a founding member, at the lower rate and be part of the Community from the beginning, you will need to join within that window.

“They say ‘you’re not alone’… but grief is the most isolating thing I’ve ever lived through”

People often say “you’re not alone,” but when the people around you have not lived through what you are carrying, it can still feel like you are completely on your own in it.

Grief has a way of isolating you quietly, not because people do not care, but because they cannot fully meet you in the experience.

That is why the Grief Connect Community is built differently, because it is not just about reading posts or occasionally sharing, it is about being able to sit in real time with others who understand and feel that shift when you realise you do not have to explain yourself to be understood. In our community we come together, and together we are strong. We keep moving forward with each other.

If you are still carrying this mostly on your own, this is your opportunity to change that.

We are coming up to the official membership launch next week. Join the waitlist for founding membership access where you will receive:
-One week free access to the Community so you can experience it fully before committing
-A discounted ongoing membership rate that stays with you as a founding member
-Access to live online video sessions with Michelle and others who understand what you are going through
-Practical grief guidance and information to help you make sense of what is happening and find ways to get through each day

Don't miss joining the waitlist by clicking here: http://www. subscribepage.io/nQuHD3 so you are ready to step in on 18 May, because founding member access will close on 25 May. Not long now...

Grief doesn’t just change how you feel, it changes what you’re capable of.

One of the hardest parts of grief is not the emotion itself, it’s the pressure to function like nothing has changed when everything has.

You might still be showing up to work, replying to messages, getting through the day, but underneath that there is a constant awareness that your world is different now, and that disconnect can be exhausting.

Instead of expecting yourself to operate at the same level as before, it can help to adjust your internal expectations, because your capacity has changed, and ignoring that often leads to burnout, frustration, or feeling like you’re not coping.

Practical grief management sometimes looks like doing less, saying no more often, and being more selective about where your energy goes, not because you’re failing, but because you’re responding to what your system actually needs.

You don’t have to do everything the way you used to.

If you need a space where that’s understood without explanation, the Grief Connect Community is opening next week and you can join the waitlist for the community by clicking here: http://www. subscribepage.io/nQuHD3

Time does not tell you when to stop supporting someone.

But most people assume it does.

Support is strong in the early days
Then it fades
And eventually stops

Not because people don’t care
But because they think they should be “better by now”

This is where many grieving people feel most alone.

The shift is this:
Stop letting time dictate your support.
Start staying consistent beyond the early stages.

Grief does not have a timeline.

Support should not either.

The Grief Connect Community is designed for this.

This is a space you can confidently refer someone to, where support continues long after others have stepped back.

“Grief didn’t just break my heart… it changes the person I used to be and no one prepares you for that”

One of the hardest parts of grief is not just missing your person, but realising that the version of you that existed with them has changed, and you are left trying to make sense of who you are now while still carrying everything that has happened.

That experience can feel incredibly disorienting, especially when life around you continues and there is an expectation that you should be able to find your way through it.

Inside the Grief Connect Community, this is something we talk about openly, not as something to fix, but as something to understand and navigate alongside others who are living it too.

If you are tired of trying to work this out on your own, take the step and join the waitlist today by clicking here https://www.rfr.bz/fa09926 so you can join from 18 May and access founding member support before it closes on 25 May.

Grief shows up in ordinary moments.

Not just the big ones.

It hits in the supermarket
While making coffee
Driving to work

Moments that used to feel automatic now feel heavy.

This is where people start to question themselves.

“Why is this still so hard?”

Because grief is not contained to milestones.

It lives in the everyday.

The shift is this:
Stop expecting grief to only show up on certain days.
Start recognising it as part of your daily life.

That awareness removes a layer of frustration.

The Grief Connect Community is designed for this.

Inside the Grief Connect Community, you are supported in the everyday moments, not just the big ones.

Hope doesn’t always feel strong, and there will be days where you can’t find it at all no matter how hard you look.

On those days, it doesn’t mean it’s gone.

It just means everything feels heavy right now.

Hope doesn’t disappear, it sits quietly underneath it all, even when you can’t feel it, even when your focus is just getting through the next hour.

So if today feels like there is none, don’t take that as the full story.

Just keep going, gently, because hope is still there, even if it’s out of reach today.

And if you need a space where you don’t have to carry this on your own, the Grief Connect Community is opening soon, you’re welcome to join the waitlist and be part of a place where people understand what this actually feels like.

“I was drowning in grief surrounded by people… and still felt completely alone so I built what I couldn’t find”

You can be surrounded by people who genuinely care about you and still feel like no one truly understands what your day actually looks like now, especially in those quieter moments where everything slows down and the absence becomes louder.

That was my experience, and it is something I hear over and over again from people I work with.

It is also the reason I created the Grief Connect Community, because what I needed back then was not more advice or people trying to fix it, but a space where I could sit alongside others who understood without explanation and not feel like I was carrying it on my own.

If you are reading this and recognising yourself in it, don’t scroll past it and leave it for later.

Join the waitlist now so you are ready when doors open on 18 May, because founding member access is only available until 25 May, and once that window closes, you will have missed it.
