SUMMARY:LOLA - Loss of Life Advocates with Esther Pipoly
DESCRIPTION:If you ask someone if they are prepared for a life transition or loss\, they generally say they dont want to think about it\, or they lean in and say\, “I think so.” There is so much that goes into getting someone prepared and when you do the work\, afterwards you will have the feeling of comfort knowing at the time of a transition or loss\, all the decisions have been discussed or made already. LOLA walks you through as a guide talking about all the things together. “I realized after losing my father in 2014 and then my husband shortly afterwards\, there was no one to be a guide for me.- that is when I came up with Loss of Life Advocates\, named after my mother\, to help individuals\, and families prepare”
