After Loss Planning

​My Reason​

​

GoldStar's after-loss service was born out of heartbreak—and a deep desire to turn pain into purpose.

 

After losing my spouse, I was thrust into a world I didn’t expect - not just the emotional toll of grief, but the sheer weight of the administrative aftermath. While I was still trying to breathe through the pain, I had to manage estate paperwork, cancel services, sort through legal documents, navigate confusing financial systems, and make time-sensitive decisions that had long-term consequences. I had no guidebook. No checklist. And often, no one to call who truly understood.

 

That’s when the idea for providing after loss services began to take shape.

I kept thinking: Why isn’t there a place that helps people through this part of loss? Something practical, human, and grounded in compassion. So, I started building it.

 

GoldStar is a space designed to support people with the often-overlooked tasks that come after someone passes away. We help with things like:

• Organizing and tracking essential documents

• Understanding legal and financial next steps

• Creating step-by-step administrative checklists

• Offering guidance for dealing with institutions like banks, insurance companies, and government agencies

• Providing emotional validation alongside practical help

 

I didn’t want anyone else to feel as alone, overwhelmed, or unprepared as I did. GoldStar is about easing the weight, providing clarity, and holding space for healing—not just emotionally, but logistically too.

 

Grief is already hard enough. The paperwork shouldn’t be what breaks you.

GoldStar is my way of reaching out a hand to others navigating this path. You don’t have to do it all alone.
