One of the most overlooked parts of end-of-life planning is what happens to our material possessions. And yet, for many families, sorting through belongings after a death can be one of the most emotionally and logistically overwhelming experiences they face.
On February 6, EoLP is hosting a special Lunch & Learn that gently brings this topic into the light. This session will explore how working through belongings before the end of life can be a profound act of care; one that reduces burden, honors meaning, and supports those we love.
Our presenter will share insights from a new book she is developing, focused on helping people reflect on their belongings, make intentional choices, and release what no longer serves them. During the Lunch & Learn, participants will walk through a practical section of this work together, seeing how it can be thoughtfully used with clients in real-life end-of-life planning conversations.
Letting go of possessions isn’t about minimalism or productivity, it’s about love, clarity, and care. When we help someone navigate their belongings with compassion, we help ease the emotional weight left behind for families and caregivers.
This session is especially meaningful for End of Life Planning Navigators and others who are drawn to supporting people through life transitions, organizing with heart, and honoring legacy in gentle, human ways.
We hope you’ll join us on February 6th at Noon MT. You can learn more about Jill McCurdy’s work here.
